Which do you like?
Published on September 2, 2006 By KFC Kickin For Christ In Home & Family
Ok, now most of you know my son is going to be having his first child. He's been told he's expecting a boy. At this point it better be, because I've bought gads of boy's clothes already. JC Penney just had an 80% off clothing sale, because they are moving to another building, and I took full advantage buying little boy's clothes clear until next summer.

The big discussion now is the name. Since my son is an avid movie watcher, and I'm talking big time avid here, he's come up with the name Maximus Ethan . He thinks it's a strong boy's name. How many out there can recognize where these names come from? Another name that came up is Ethan Russell since Russell is a family name . Since my son is going to enroll him in VMI at his birth.....I guess they all do this, he's looking at the way the initials stand out as well. So what do you think? Which do you like? M.E. or E.R?

Maximus Ethan . or
Ethan Russell

So long as his initials don't spell out P.I.G. or D.U.D. or something

Now that would show parents with a sense of humor

What about poor Dick Trickle's parents' choice of a name? Poor kid.

hmmmm initials would be D.T......well that's better than E.T. .

Geeeesh TW.....lots of questions...... Do I have to answer them?

the initials came into play because of the VMI connection. I guess they spell their last name and then go by their two initials.

so if your last name was Pickle and your name was Matthew Edward, your handle would be Pickle. M.E. So Pickle Me would be a problem. So they have to think like that. I don't know how many other people out there enroll their kids in college at birth but it's pretty common at these military colleges. My son is already talking of enrolling this baby in the class of 2029.

So with our last name the initials E.R and M.E do spell interesting names that could stick.

heck maybe we should name him Sue and introduce him to Johnny Cash.

I don't know the Ethan movie reference....

If I was having another son I'd name him RIDDICK.

Ethan - wasn't that Tom Cruises characters name in the MI movies?

I like names that flow so 2-3 syllables followed by 1 syllable - eg Elana Grace, Elliot Kim, Patrick James, Elizabeth Kate

Maximus James/John/Pete/Tom

Congratulations on your grandbaby!

Hello there KFC..

My middle son's name is Max. Just Max, not Maximillian, Maximus, or any other form of Max. We chose it for personal and family reasons.

Out of all my children, others are named David and Noah, he is the most balanced.

Names don't make the kid. The kid makes the name.

or is it clothes don't make the man...hahaha....

Names don't make the kid. The kid makes the name.


this reminds me of the scripture that says a good name is better than gold. I used to quote that to my kids alot when they were younger.

Of course it's not about names really. It's not the external that makes a person but what's inside that counts....but Maximus?.....

I also have a David. He's my baby....well in the whole scope of things. His 22nd birthday is next week!!!

So you have three boys as well? Welcome to my club!!!!
