Oh, hurray for being a nerd!

[Imogene]

Had a couple come through my line tonight, with two kids in tow. Mom takes one kid out to the car, Dad watches the other while he checks out. Me being me, I offer the tyke a sticker, he accepts, and tells me his brother's name is Logan. I say, 'sweet', and hand him another sticker to give to his brother. And I very nearly said, "And you may have this sticker, so long as you share with Weapon X." but thought better of it, then admitted to 'Dad' what I was about to say, and he said, "Well, that would be who he was named after. We already had used Banon, and we were watching X-Men, and I said, 'Hey, Logan's a nice name'."

And it's only now that I realize that the tyke before me was also named for a nerdy reference. Damn, guess I'm not nerdy enough.

I hope Banon becomes a doctor.

And a leader type doctor would be best. The kind that knows both royality and thieves.

On a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine is naming their child Anakin. Go nerdy names!

They're naming the kid after someone who betrays his friends, kills small children, decapitates helpless old men, tortures people to bait their friends into a trap and BLOWS UP ENTIRE PLANETS FULL OF PEOPLE.

Sheesh.

My daughters middle name is Persephone...

Slightly nerdy?

Sheesh.

Not to mention a guy who doesn't realize when someone has the high ground.

You underestimate his nerd power.

[Brojekk]

You forgot the part where he wipes out an entire camp of innocent tusken raiders.

They could be naming him after Leia and Han's son Anakin Solo, who was a war hero and an excellent person, as well as one of the best Jedi seen during Yuuzhan Vong wars =D

EDIT: The tusken raiders took his mom, beat her, and starved her!! Innocent? XO

[Plaidman]

Maybe... If so, oi. Poor Leia and Han. They have the worst life ever. Home planet gets blow up. Your dad is one of the most evil bastards out there. Your brother turns evil (tempoary). Your two sons die. One of your son's goes evil. Your best friend dies. Seriously. The solo family has enough problems to make a epic soap opera.


Oh wait. Now I get it.

Sheesh.

We can live in hope.

[kaelor]

My sister named her youngest son "Neo". lol

I'd consider Luke as that's fairly normal. Han...that's not normal but not wierd. Ben...I'd consider....but not Anakin.

[persephone]

My aunt and her husband are evil. Both love Star Wars. Last name "Walker". They had twins about the time The Empire Strikes Back came out.

My cousin's names, on the birth certificates, are "Luke Sky Walker" and "Leia Sky Walker".

Yeah, they kinda hate their parents sometimes.

(But, hey, I'm not one to talk. My oldest is named after a comic book love interest and I readily admit it)

[allegrasparkle]

I blush to admit, but my daughter is named for a Star Trek character, Kathryn.... my son Charles Xavier... we call him X
