Soli Deo Gloria.
I think you should call your child geoffc, in honour of me.
It’d be pronounced “jefk”
nice for a girl or a boy, don’t you think?

i had to double take, i thought that said ‘jerk’
May 18th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I understand, cos that’s how you mispronounce my name…
It’s a mispronouncement….right?
May 18th, 2009 at 10:47 am
yes yes of course
May 18th, 2009 at 11:05 am
well, personally, i’d spell Ava as Eva, but hey, thats just the top ones. I’d go gabriella for a girl. i like it. Dont ask me about guys names though!
May 18th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
(though my one piece of advice would be not to call a boy ‘jerk’ =P)
May 18th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Hahaha – ‘download day’
May 18th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I like elijah for a boy
May 18th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
the kid called geoffc reminds me of a couple we used to go to church with who, with the best of intentions, called their daughter Jcia. Pronounced “jessa”, it was meant to be an acronym for Jesus Christ Is Alive.
I’m all for people keeping Deuteronomy 6 in mind, but it’s another thing altogether for giving your kid a lifetime of, “how do you spell that?!?!”
May 18th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
also, you should totally begin your child’s name with a hash. #child
May 18th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
@totman – thanks for the tip. i’ve now crossed off jerk!!
@cj – hehe
@alex – doesn’t go with out last name
@fitzy – that’s a classic!!! maybe icthus would be a good one too!?!? good call on giving the kid a permanent hashtagging!!!
May 18th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
How about those non gender-specific names like Jordan, Cameron, Kierren, Jesse, Alex etc…
On a completely unrelated note; Dave have you seen those ’6 Beers of Seperation’ ads, where they say which celebrities they want to meet? One of the them totally says Dave Miers, no joke!
May 18th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
hey joel.
thanks for the ideas!
thanks even more for the heads up on the 6 beers of separation thing!!! i actually heard that ad on friday night at my parents’ house – i did a double take – but didn’t know what the ad was…
i might get that snippet and blog it… thanks for the tip joel!!!!

May 22nd, 2009 at 8:46 pm
