Need Names
« on: August 14, 2010, 11:27:12 AM »
I need names for a boy and a girl. 

The Curzon/Jadzia combination I proposed already got shot down. 

Right now it looks like Kaison and Kaia are the winners.  I like both names, but not fond of them being so similar. 

Ideas?

If I have a daughter, which I won't, I'm going to name her Monêt.

Not if I can help it

I like Ezri.  I like quite a few names, but have been continuously told, "no" simply because of their origins.  

Kaison and Kaia are liked by both decision-making parties.  I think I can accept the "cuteness" of them being similar as a compromise to both names meeting my criteria.

And, if they both become statisticians, their names would be epic as a pair.

Kai(son) + Kai(a) --> (Kai sounds like the greek Chi) --> Chi-squared test.

So, they'd be Kai^2 (or χ2 for short)

LOL!  I have to forward that one on.

I get emails from most errors triggered on our websites.  Its amazing how many people keep trying SQL injection attacks.

My suggestions are a little more old school that ClearRunway's.

But I suggest Boudica and Gaius.  If Ian would have been a chick I wanted Boudica, but Sandy would have vetoed it.
