Swistle attempts to sort through John's naming rules

When Swistle started up her baby naming blog, I KNEW I had to write in.  I thought John's rules would prove to be challenging (and amusing).  I was right.



Click here for the full post.  Interestingly, Evan James seems to be the clear winner in the poll followed by a tie between Max James (our current favorite) and Henry James (which John doesn't like).  We do like Evan James (or Evan John), so I think we'll add that to the short list until John can find a reason to veto it.



I've always liked the name Evan and considered it for Alex along with Ethan.  Ethan is WAY too popular and I didn't really consider it for Baby 2.0.  My only problem with Evan is it seems too "soft".  I mean, Evan sounds like a guy who writes poetry and majors in art history.  What if he's a bad ass?  What if he wants to be a rock star?  What if he wants to be a Gladiator?  I mean, how intimidating can he be with a name like Evan?  Max just seems more flexible.  He could be Max, the sensitive guy who plays the acoustic guitar at the local coffee shop on Thursday nights or he could be MAXIMUS, HARBINGER OF PAIN!
