That's Janik Top actually, according to the liner notes of my Üdü Wüdü CD. Tongue

I'd love to be have a silly name actually, I would prefer it to James. LOL  So if I named a son something odd, it means more than likely, I would want that name myself.

I was thinking, if I get 4 daughters, I'll name the last 2 proggy. The first ones will be Katri and Sonja, and the two will be Julia and Anna after SBBs 'Slovenian Girls' album, which is brilliant by the way.

I wish I was English though, it would be easier to adapt names like Kayleigh, which is really pretty, or Fripp, which is the name I use for my character in all RPGs, and would for my son too. It's just really cool.

What about poor Yannick Top of Magma, Angelo, don't forget him!

I'd name my cats Meurglys and Calyx if I had two cats to name...

As for sons and daughters... well, I want unique names, but not silly ones.  I think perhaps a silly name for a middle name is fine though.

Therefore, I could have the name Meurglys as a middle name for a daughter.  Man-Erg wouldn't work quite so well... but Gog Magog might! LOL

Now what Johnny Cash song does that remind me of? A boy named Jody? Sissy? Of course, A boy named Sue.....

But seriously, I think you have a point here Jody. I went through my music collection for our childrens names, about 6 years ago, but decided to stick with decent human names. Our daughter we called  Gwendolyn Kyra, because we like Celtic names, and Kayleigh was a bit too obvious, and our son is Yannick, Yannick again for the Celtic influence (and a tiny reference to Janick Gers and tennis player Yanick Noah). His second name Joël was picked by his mother, for less proggy reasons. Wink

that's because you ARE a big girl Jody.  Tongue

Note for the youngsters:
if you are going to insult a big lump, ex-army, with a big fat metal head, always make sure he's at least 3000 miles away......Wink

Note to self:

you are quite sure Jody doesnt plan to visit the North Of England, arent you?Ouch

Dweezil is a really good name, and I would name one of my kids (if I get any, I don't plan to) Dweezil if it hadn't been so obvious that I was just ripping off Frank Zappa in doing so. It's hard to come up with something original these days...

Nebëhr Gudahtt is a really nice name aswell. Continuing the Magma theme, one could name twins Ürgon and Gorgo.

For daughter: Vera or Julia (after a Pavlovs Dog song).

For son, ehm...

well...in former Yugoslavia (most notably in Macedonia) male name Pop is very common (see the PA entry for Tihomir Pop Asanovic, for example). Also, there is nothing unusual with the name Rok  (especially in Slovenia). So, I guess its nothing wrong if I name my son Pop-Rok Ermm
Percussion, sir!

Are you sure? Karelia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelia) is a geographical reference, first of all. Jody's advice is golden.

Now Lars Ulrich will issue a "cease and desist" order on them for using the Metallica name. LOL

probably not, but it wouldn't hurt to try... you could always try a baptism by FIRE

The closest I've come to even thinking about this is naming my Daughter Kaleigh after the song by Marillion Tongue
