Baby Names

I've never procreated before but I have thought about the second most important part of the process; naming the baby. Whats most often overlooked is the middle name. A middle name that compliments the first name can do wonders for a child. My friend Steve recently recommend a combo that would not only make for a solid name, but a pretty amazing nickname too. It got me thinking about other possible combos and I came up with the following best of list. I will begin with Steve's idea:



***Jason Patric / nickname = Cruise Control
Great name, even better nickname. The world needs more Speed 2 jokes.


*** Shawn Michaels / nickname = The Heartbreak Kid


***Patrick Jane / nickname = The Mentalist


***Tommy John / nickname = Surgery



***James Andrews / nickname = The Surgeon


I'd be doing a disservice if I didn't warn future parents about these potential baby names:


***Reginald Dwight / nickname = Elton John



***Ron Paul / nickname = The Revolution



***Eddie Murray / nickname = Steady Eddie



***Zach Randolph / nickname = Zbo




***Anne Frank / nickname = Is this really necessary? Just don't name a girl Anne Frank. Just don't.
