The wife and I found out we are having a boy!!! I figured this would be a good way to get a pulse on what might work better over another name.
Anyone have personal experience with the names?
A vote of boobies will be none of the above. If you like a name, vote for it and then write in boobies for a middle name if you just like voting for boobies. I mean really, who doesnt?
i actually like all the names except vince...
but thats just me
there aren't enough andre's in the world.
I voted boobies...you should name him that.
This should've been titled "baby pole", trust me it works ;)

its worth a shot and will reach people on so many levels (especially this group) [evil]
If it was a girl and your last name was McGee, I think you would be on to something with Boobies.
Congrats on the boy :) [thumbsup]

Dunno; if we're going to limit it to Polish names, I'm pretty partial to Tadeusz or Władysław, named of course after the 12th Century Polish Monarch Władysław I the Elbow-high.
Of the original options, for some reason Ezra sounded good. Maybe the band will still be around by then so your child can one day ask them, "What, you think you're better than me?"
it's POLL not POLE
i thought this was about some polish people or a place to hang flags of baby names...

I've always like the name Ezra.
Also Jess and Wyatt.

I voted Evan so your kid can make it famous.
I voted boobies because Hooty McBoob is the greatest name you can ever give a kid...
I always thought a good first name for a boy would be Arson.
"yes, that's Arson."
"Whose son?"
"Oh, I don't know, but he's Arson."
"What?

I want to do that. Do you think it'll fly with my wife? (my last name is Larson, so it would certainly have a great flow to it.....Arson Larson. HELL YEAH, THAT'S AWESOME!)
2 votes for Arson Larson. [thumbsup]
It's better than Ezra

i have a theory on boys names.
look at a lot of the professional athletes and big tough guys. there is a large percentage that have strange or downright girly names. and they will kick you ass. i think the parents did that on purpose to make them grow up and do something to make themselves famous and badass.

So just go with the Sue theory? He'll either be a badass or have to carry a gun.
I like that song :)

I voted Evan so your kid can make it famous.
Evan Parker was an amazing saxophonist.
What never fails to happen people ask "what are you going to name him" you tell them the name you have chosen and they respond with " i had a dog named **** "
why the make the beast with two backs would you compare my child to be name to a make the beast with two backsing dog....
witnessed it too many times.
Congrats!!
Pick a name that has meaning to you or your wife, favorite family member, hero, spiritual leader, etc or a name that will mean something to your son later in life. Or name the kid Boobies.

Could always call him Bobby- thats close to Boobies.
While the name Ezra is cool- I did some light reading on it and its associations with religion. We are not religious people, and not Jewish, so that might create too much confusion..
I like names with a 'Z' in them, so I voted Ezra. No real reason, other than they're not that popular.
As for 'Boobies'. I just can't see anyone going all ga-ga over "Little Boobies"..........maybe it's just me.
;D
Don't think you should name your kid Boobies (although that was my vote.) Tito or Titus might be good choices.

I like Little Boobies just fine.
A bigger problem comes years later when the PE teacher asks why none of the guys ever choose Boobies.
We've already had a Dubya and a Bubba - President Boobies wouldn't be that much of a stretch, and we already know that people will always vote for Boobies.

An overwhelming number of "traditional" or names are Hebrew. I personally wouldn't worry about that too much.
I am kinda anti-Ezra, because for the longest time I thought Ezra Pound was a woman for some reason. I have never been able to disassociate Ezra from woman. Otherwise, it is a cool-sounding name.

Michael - jewish name (mi cha el -- who is like God?)
Abigail - jewish name (avi chayil -- my father's joy?)
Aliyah - jewish name (aliyah -- "to ascend")
Evan -- jewish name (evan -- stone)
Naomi -- jewish name (naomi - pleasantness)
and my favorite:
Moesha -- comes from "Moishe" which is yiddish for "Moses"

Evan -- jewish name (evan -- stone)
Evan Edward = stone ed
Ezra was a stand up take charge kind of guy. He worked under King Artaxerxes of Babylon to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. At that time Israel was one of the jurisdictional districts of the Babylonian empire. Anyway the King entrusted him with the equivalent of about $45 mil to do has he saw best. [thumbsup] So they got the thing rebuilt after it had been burnt down.
Therefore you should name the Kid Ezra Arson.
