jB: no - that’s definitely not good enough

It took a while to get back to him, but I somehow just re-discovered Dane Carlson’s Business Opportunities Weblog while stumbling over at Peter Forret’s blog looking for a trackback pinger and saw his post about his blog’s roi, which dane made a too…

Nils Hitze on October 28th, 2005 at 6:06 am

Gratulations to your second child, althoug it isn’t there. We are becoming parents for the second time too, but it is a while until then. April/May i think.

Why don’t name him Finn or Juri Finn?
It’s only place 702 on the list and it has a nice sound. I always had the opinion you have to shout a name first to see if it’s good. Let’s try : FIIIINN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING UPSTAIRS???? Sounds nice. Try it with Juri now : JURI FINN CARLSON, COME DOWN HERE! Has a nice ring and with two sons you definitly need a good name for shouting :)

Hope you find something for your child and good luck with the birth.

Greetings from germany.

Chris on October 28th, 2005 at 6:36 am

My friend, if that’s how your ultrasound looks with only a few weeks left, see a doctor. Seriously. Okay, maybe not so much, but don’t you have a more identifiable baby pic at this point?

Best of luck from a guy with one of the top 10 common U.S. names (Chris) - it ain’t so bad…

Dane on October 28th, 2005 at 6:53 am

Thanks for your concern, Chris, but it’s an ultrasound pic from April.

Zorodzai on October 28th, 2005 at 7:13 am

How about Zorodzai..it’s Shona for “to give peace of mind”

Loyd on October 28th, 2005 at 7:30 am

Bryce? Hannibal? Thompson? oh….sorry….ends in ’son’. Cool though. Rooney? Petrov?

Bob or bob on October 28th, 2005 at 8:51 am

A good name for me is Malsom - this is a maleseet word for wolf as I think your son looks very comfortable in his “den”

All the best
bob

Cathy on October 28th, 2005 at 9:07 am

I like how people are using last names for their kids first names lately - I know you’re trying to get away from “trendy” names - I really like the name Garrett or Bennett

ken on October 28th, 2005 at 9:15 am

Since I am still on the fence about having children leaning towards probably not I will give you my boy name which isn’t on said list at all (though versions of it are depending on how you feel about nicknames):
Maxfield
I also have always been partial to Reed which is there but pretty far down (though not as far as Emerson).
And of course if you’re sticking with the transcendental theme you could always name him Thoreau, Fuller, Alcott, Hawthorne, Peabody (but that’s also a city in MA), Higginson or Frothingham.
Good luck!

Amanda on October 28th, 2005 at 9:40 am

Carter
Nate
Broderick
Devon
Graham
Clinton
Jarvis
Kyle

DelorumRex on October 28th, 2005 at 9:45 am

besides DelorumRex.. how about Alister.

Dan Sherman on October 28th, 2005 at 9:56 am

Congrats, Dane. We’re expecting our second as well in May of next year. Don’t know the sex yet, but my wife won’t allow this name even if it is a boy. So, I thought I would give it to you. I absolutely LOVE this name. Here it is…. drum roll please… Daxton. Nickname of Dax. :-)

Cheers!
Dan

[...] Mi amigo Dane Carlson y su esposa está esperando un nuevo bebé. un niño, todavia no lo ha nombrado y requiere de tu ayuda para ponerle un nombre. Estará regalando un bono de $25.00 en Amazon o itunes al que sugiera el nombre que escoja. [...]

Gwendolyn on October 28th, 2005 at 10:13 am

We had settled on Vash, Carter or Jackson. He looked more like a Jackson when he came out.

Good luck! Names can make or break a kid :)

LB on October 28th, 2005 at 10:28 am

Redmond
Chance
Brant

rjm on October 28th, 2005 at 10:44 am

I love the name Joshua, but it has some religious overtones…
Hm, Jules.
But he looks so much a Joshua. I’d go for it.

Loren on October 28th, 2005 at 10:45 am

If our second child was a boy, his name would have been Gunnar. So my suggestion is Gunnar.

Laura on October 28th, 2005 at 10:53 am

Hello!
My sugestion is Gustavo!

misskate on October 28th, 2005 at 10:55 am

I stumbled upon this site, but I like what you’re doing to find a name for your new son. Congrats, by the way.
My suggestions:

Cullen
Kiernan
or even, just Kier

yes, they both end with an n, but other than that, they’re pretty un-popular yet intriguing. Spellings can always be altered to make a name more unique.
Good luck!

Geoffrey on October 28th, 2005 at 10:57 am

Geoffrey - You’ll get discounted gift cards from Toys “R” Us

Photojunkie on October 28th, 2005 at 11:20 am

How about Greyden Carlson.

Seth on October 28th, 2005 at 11:23 am

I say Seth. I am biased though.

Kipp on October 28th, 2005 at 11:39 am

Being a girl with an boy’s name, I recommend that you stick with something simple. Parents who grow up with normal, dare I say bland, names and then try to choose something funky either in sound or spelling for their children don’t understand that they are dooming them to a life of mangled introductions and mis-spellings. It does take a toll after awhile. Anyway, I’m partial to Vaughn (853), Cale (787), and Reagan (740–not a tribute, just nice!) Good luck.

Antonio Luis on October 28th, 2005 at 11:41 am

Your son must be named “Toinho”, you pronounce like in espanish “Toiño”. It’s a very good name.

David on October 28th, 2005 at 12:07 pm

Malcolm

Alexander

Phoenix

Jason (I always liked that name because it fit the first letter of summer and fall months July August September October November)

Just don’t call him David. Too common.

Ian?
Nathan?
Tek?
Trey?

Anyways, best of luck with the baby, and the new venture (Solo Tees).

Andy on October 28th, 2005 at 12:27 pm

I was lampooning your search for a baby name in the blogosphere on another friend’s site http://mcraig.org/mark/archives/001656.html#comments) and the name Purnell popped into my head. I figured I’d at least suggest it and get my chance at $25. To save you the trouble of googling, it is also the name of a girl’s school in New Jersey and a prolific Depression-era actor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0695525/).

I’ll double my chances and submit Cornell as well.

Aline on October 28th, 2005 at 12:50 pm

Try Tiago.It is a beautiful hispanic name.It is equivalent to our James.

Dave Lorenzo on October 28th, 2005 at 1:23 pm

Dane,

You are a brave man. Here are my offers:

If you lean a little to the left you could go with “Untucker�? . That would make him Untucker Carlson – which could mean that he’s not the guy on MSNBC or he likes to sleep in a sloppily made bed.

If you like sports you could name him “Palmer�?. So he’d be Palmer Carlson which is great if Carson Palmer (it’s close) turns out to be a great Quarterback in Cincinnati.

Finally, if he likes to stay up late, host TV shows and date great looking women (you’d probably want to wait a while before you test out the last one) you could name him “Daily�?. This would make him Daily Carlson – which is almost the reverse of Carson Daily (again – a bit of a stretch, but not a bad name).

I’ll shoot you some more if I think of them – unless you file a restraining order.

Congratulations!

Best,

Dave

Caron on October 28th, 2005 at 1:40 pm

Oren is a great name. Adam is also a good name that is not unusual, but no longer common.

RailRider on October 28th, 2005 at 1:55 pm

How about “Casey”? Closest I found on the list was with a K at number 836. Maybe ‘Jones’ for a middle name…what can I say, being a railroad history buff? Still, if you’re into initials, “CJ” has a nice, but simple ring to it.

Orikinla Osinachi on October 28th, 2005 at 1:56 pm

Just call him “MANUEL” or “MARVEL”.

The following names are also cool.
1.Milan
2.Sidney.
3.Alexandra and
4.Chima

tonybreeze on October 28th, 2005 at 2:39 pm

stilwell is a not so famous name

Michael Wales on October 28th, 2005 at 2:46 pm

Just found your blog via the article from Technorati - figured I’d give my suggestion: Donovan.

Srradha on October 28th, 2005 at 3:10 pm

I second the above: Donovan is a cool name. Cosmic Wheels man!

Eugenio on October 28th, 2005 at 3:39 pm

Hi
Because I write from Italy I can suggest only italian names…:-)
Do you like my name, for example? Eugenio has a great meaning (I translate in english as “good-birth”, but it isn’t really correct)

Or I like Mattia!
However… sweet life for your son (and your family) :-)

RuthAnn on October 28th, 2005 at 4:16 pm

How about Berend?

pamela on October 28th, 2005 at 4:31 pm

Otto (so he gets to sit next to all the M girls in class)

George (haven’t met a george I don’t like)

Nathan-Nate

good luck and congradulations!

Kate on October 28th, 2005 at 4:59 pm

Some names I;ve liked:

Baliey
Taylor
Sage
Saxon
Wells
Rana
Lakin
Kylin

Harold Jarche on October 28th, 2005 at 6:30 pm

Take some advice from the economists who wrote “Freakonomics” (see Ch 6)- http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/

They suggest obscure names if you want to get an edge for your child’s later success in life. Given that, I would say a name like “Harper” for a boy might work.

We named our boys Nicholas (’92) and Lucas (’94) and thought that we were original - we weren’t. We still like their names though :-)

“Jael” its my suggestion!

Russell on October 28th, 2005 at 7:46 pm

I was directed here via David Lorenzo’s blog and thought I might suggest a name I didn’t see on your list: Mikha.

judi on October 28th, 2005 at 8:40 pm

Astrid or Ophelia

Cristina on October 28th, 2005 at 8:54 pm

I always liked the name Kalan. also, I was always partial to Blaze (more for a middle name). But, we ended up going with normal for my son. Tyler Scott.
Good Luck

Jennifer Mahan on October 28th, 2005 at 9:22 pm

I had a similiar set of “conditions” for naming my son. We went with Wesley. Easy to pronounce, easy to spell, and yet it is in no danger of making any most popular name lists!

Barbara Burns on October 28th, 2005 at 9:33 pm

I Love the How Much is Your Blog Worth calculator!

Emerson sounds like you’re poetry readers (my son is Robert Burns)

Whitney on October 29th, 2005 at 12:30 am

I’m a big fan of Blake… or Aiden

Andrea on October 29th, 2005 at 1:16 am

First of all, congratulations on the baby. As for names, the only one I can think of that is somewhat original is Rafe. I think I’ve always liked that name. Good Luck!

Jan on October 29th, 2005 at 2:03 am

The name is easy: Giovanni

Daphne on October 29th, 2005 at 2:20 am

How about Keiran? Keiran Carlson (KC).

BTW, your “How much is your blog worth” calculator doesn’t work on blogger blogs with dashes?

Or is it just mine?

If so, then… Oh, my ego! :(

Darren on October 29th, 2005 at 2:29 am

Congratulations….

what about ‘Darren’ :-)

ok - seriously - nothing coming to mind but will mull it over.

Joel, go with Joel :o)

knittingnurse on October 29th, 2005 at 9:37 am

Has anyone suggested the name Seamus yet? (#784 I believe on that list). Very traditional celtic name.

Sebastian on October 29th, 2005 at 9:40 am

I suggest you 2 names:

1.- Ruy (not Roy) –> A friend has this name and he´s really proud of it.

2.- Waldo (Not Oswaldo)

Sebastian on October 29th, 2005 at 9:40 am

I suggest you 2 names:

1.- Ruy (not Roy) –> A friend has this name and he´s really proud of it.

2.- Waldo (Not Oswaldo)

I hope you like them.

teh l4m3 on October 29th, 2005 at 9:43 am

All right. I don’t see what’s wrong with having a popular name. I’m rather partial to William and Erik, myself. But if you must be outre (without being tacky, i.e., Kendall, Kristopher, Rylan [!!!]), you could go with Dorian (#421) or Graham (#403), perennial classics that are unique enough while maintaining a sense of history, masculine without being gooberish, just refined enough without being too twee or precious.

Then again, there’s always Pubert.

mr. middle america on October 29th, 2005 at 10:20 am

Absolutely nothing wrong with Breckin!

Deirdre' Straughan on October 29th, 2005 at 10:24 am

Corrado. It’s an antique Italian version of Conrad. If I’d had a son, I would have used it. You can always call him Corey for short.

Noe on October 29th, 2005 at 11:21 am

i think “Jahir” its the option!

Patricia on October 29th, 2005 at 11:24 am

hi i´m portuguese and i have two children a boy and a girl

i give you a sugestion for a name : Roberson or Nuno(my son name´s)

Marigold on October 29th, 2005 at 11:24 am

Oscar-#123. Classic, literary, and has a good nickname of “Ozzy”
Milo-#904. Main character of the children’s book The Phantom Tollbooth. He’s a boy who learns to use his imagination.

sarah bosch on October 29th, 2005 at 11:40 am

My vote is Rupert, Cody, Jason (does that count as a ’son?’) or Grady.

Zeke on October 29th, 2005 at 11:55 am

I love the names:

Constantino
Athanasios
Anastasios

Nicolle on October 29th, 2005 at 12:17 pm

Brodie 731
Reagan 740
Shayne 830
Tyshawn 869
Deshaun 873
Rylee 917

Okay…I’ve probably listed enough. Those are some of the names I like. I also put their placement on the list.

Congratulation and good luck with everything.

Jerod Blackman on October 29th, 2005 at 12:39 pm

some good names for another child would be

Moriah Barach on October 29th, 2005 at 12:47 pm

annie on October 29th, 2005 at 1:00 pm

Ian…ok, it sounds like “E” but it’s a good name
Cael

Melanie on October 29th, 2005 at 3:19 pm

Kya on October 29th, 2005 at 3:19 pm

My cousin just named her son Maddox. I’d say that’s not so popular, so I’m throwing it out there, along with Zachary, Ezra (ya, I know there’s an E but it’s a nice name), Darwin, & Corgan.

Congrats on #2 :)

seo on October 29th, 2005 at 4:56 pm

sose

Peter on October 29th, 2005 at 4:58 pm

how about “hank”, his life as a bouncer or biker will be clear then :D

nah, i’d name the baby something where hardly any abbrevations exist, no rude rhymes can be done and such thing
bernhard for example, berni is kinda nice too

Kathy Sierra on October 29th, 2005 at 5:02 pm

Skyler is my favorite. And it sounds kind of nice to say “Skyler and Emerson…”

Congratulations!

João Ramos on October 29th, 2005 at 5:13 pm

Althoug i think its something very personal, has requested here goes my sugestion:

Bishop

And the why:
well, simply add bizzness to oportunities and you have bizzop…
Bishop sounds better so i went to the adaptation…

Best regards to the four of you

Kate on October 29th, 2005 at 5:59 pm

I always wanted to name a son: Millar Coleman

you could also use the more conventional spelling of Miller as well.

Terry on October 29th, 2005 at 6:10 pm

It’s obvious - “Whitman”

Stler on October 29th, 2005 at 6:24 pm

Xanf

3.) Dru
4.) Dulane
5.) Adan

I hope this helps you when trying to name your little boy. Good luck.

JO on October 29th, 2005 at 7:13 pm

i always loved the name Nathaniel!

Congratulations on your upcoming baby!

Michele on October 29th, 2005 at 7:34 pm

I have 2 boys and named them Julian and Aidan. I wanted something pretty. And something not popular. But, Aidan is becoming very popular now. I like the name Chance. I met a cute little boy years ago by the that name. He had beautiful blue eyes.

Arcana on October 29th, 2005 at 8:01 pm

One of the coolest guy names I’ve ever heard is Quinn. Although Bevin is cool too.

Jenny on October 29th, 2005 at 8:29 pm

I’m rather fond of Liam (which could be used as a nickname for the full name of William or on it’s own.)

woah on October 29th, 2005 at 10:27 pm

“god, not another one”

long winded but good.

because shit man, it’s pretty bad when you have to offer people money to name your kids for you.

Alex on October 29th, 2005 at 11:51 pm

I would suggest:

Valentin
Kilian
Roman

Ronda on October 30th, 2005 at 12:14 am

Congrats on your second. We just had our second child almost 3 months ago. He was born 9 weeks premature. I named him Damien which has always been my favorite name. You could always go with that name or even Bronson. I kind of life that one too. Best of luck with your little ones.

pinayhekmi on October 30th, 2005 at 1:28 am

Haven’t read all the suggestions so I hope this isn’t a repeat. What are you gonna do if you name your son a name that more than one person has suggested? Just curious.

Anyway, here are my suggestions:

Dylan
Connor
Leo
Lucas

Don’t name the baby Aidan, or any derivative. Its very popular right now.

Congrats on the baby!

daria on October 30th, 2005 at 1:46 am

I guess probably you won’t like it, but if I had a son I’d give him the name Victor.
Sounds manly and strong.

:))

Jarrad on October 30th, 2005 at 2:03 am

Jaden?
Jonah?
How about The ______?

Congrats! How about a famous author trend? like….
Thoreau

umm Sinclair is an interesting name tho not my favorite author lol
Fitzgerald is a favorite but as first names go…I’m not to sure
hmm my final answer is Bryant.

alma on October 30th, 2005 at 12:13 pm

you should call him Conner. it’s avery nice masculine name, and when he gets older, it wouldn’t be like Mickey or something cutsey like that. i choses Nathan for my son, and his dad ended up calling him Stephen even though we had already ageed to call him by his middle name…anyways, i happend along your blog by surfing, and i hope your little boy is healthy and happy! God Bless you all!

What with kids being named apple these days, it’s bound to catch on at some point :) May as well take advantage of not living in Austria too, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to make up your own names.

Atleast use it as a middle name!

I think a great boy name would be Knave (with a silent K of course).

I tried to think of some names that are not currently popular… my favorite male name has recently become popular so that one is out (Aiden). So here are a few other suggestions…

Zachary (I love that name!)
Grant (I had a grandfather who was named Ulysses Grant Walker, Grant is a good name… I don’t recommend Ulysses)
Alex (I like this better than Alexander)
Elliot
Ned (Edmond)
Martin
Carl
Cameron
Brett
Brad (Bradley)
Brent
Nathan

Hope the little guy is healthy and happy with his name… no matter what you decide it will be!

rhodent on October 30th, 2005 at 6:22 pm

Here are a couple of others I just remembered…

Garrett
Darby

I don’t see Aiden near the top of that list, so maybe it is one to consider after all… it is an Irish name.

Luke on October 30th, 2005 at 7:12 pm

or… krwoua
or… jello

carey on October 31st, 2005 at 12:44 am

kramer carlson is strong

Erik on October 31st, 2005 at 3:41 am

I’d like to suggest Jan, It’s a very common name in the The Netherlands, but in the 800’s on the list you linked to.

Jan is made out of the Greek Iohannos, and equal to the English name John.

Azzurra on October 31st, 2005 at 4:00 am

Don’t you like it??
Congratulations from Azzurra.

Congrats on the impending arrival of #2! It’s so hard to do this when you don’t know the parent….that said I’ll throw a few out:

Quinn
Otis (just quirky and may bring up too many Mayberry memories)
Franklin
Dashiel
Truman
Snow(den)
Gray

Much luck to the 3 of you as you prepare for the new arrival!

Liddy on October 31st, 2005 at 7:40 am

Owen Jasper

or Jasper Joseph

Those are the two I was considering until I got much much further from having kids than I previously was.

In any case, congrats!

Check out the childrens names research in Freakonomics. Very interesting.

Catherine on October 31st, 2005 at 8:05 am

How about “Sebastien” ??

Congratulations!!!

Deanna on October 31st, 2005 at 10:44 am

How about Ty?

Jen on October 31st, 2005 at 12:16 pm

Congrats on the baby! As for my name pick, I’d go with Marek (I pronounce it Mare-ick). I wanted to name our 2nd child that but my hubby wouldn’t go for it (Our sons are Chris and Josh, so you can see right there what kinds of names he does like). I just glanced through that list and didn’t see it on there at all.
