Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

if I had children, which I won't, but still, if any silly names came up, just toss them into their middle name where no one needs to see it
I feel if you want to be creative name wise, stick it in the middle.
While my name isn't anything unique its nothing awful

Its uncool giving kids strange namesbecause its unique!
Kayvaan means that he will get fething sick of people saying "Kevin?" and him having to say "No no not Kevin..... my Dad... . blah blah blah"
He will get sick of saying it, and if I was mates with him, Id get sick of hearing it.
Naming kids shouldn't be unique, it should be what everyone else does. That's what we humans do.. we fit in, we educate, we get a job, we breed, we die. Why do you want the kid to be different from the other 7 billion?
Why not make him wear a dress to school? That would be unique.
Or maybe give him a girls name? Unique.
Why not get him to drop out of school at 9, and then Hitchhike across Turkey, he can film it all on a mic and camera set that he glues to his nipples , and he can do it all with a parrot on his shoulder, and whilst wheeling a refrigerator along with him. He will do down in history as "unique" the only 9 year old ever to Hitchhike across Turkey with a fridge and a nipple cam.
Or get him to wear shoes on his hands and gloves on his feet! That would be UNIQUE.
EVERYONE WILL THINK HE IS AWESOME.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Subject: Re:Naming Kids after Wargaming Characters
I guess it's what you define as unique/special. If your kids name is the only interesting thing it has going for it when it grows up it better think on its feet. Or get a thriving career in Porn, they have interesting names.
Sean is pretty common here in the emarald isle, and we pronounce it correct, manus (my name, and yes like ferrus manus) comes from Magnus (yes another primarch, it's my nickname in both school (because it sounds cool) and in my GW (I play CSM) ) I'm really proud of my name and means the great in old Norse, I find it ironic hot Magnus the reds name is "the great" in Norse and the SW are based off Vikings who speak Norse.
I get little slack for my name and really like having it.

Hahahaha, tell me more, buddy, you seem to the the authority on naming, what is cool, and aparently the purpose of life, too. Pretty good!
Not trying to start a fight here, but you came across pretty abrasively, and displayed some expert hyperbole.
I have a unique name for my area (Reece, never met another guy with that name until I went to the UK where it is fairly common). Here it is considered a Girl's name, i.e. Reese Witherspoon, etc.
I got called Reece's Pieces a lot as a kid and such, but I didn't care. Now, as an adult, it is a benefit having a unique name. People remember it and it makes me stick out from the Bills, Jacks, etc. I like my name and wouldn't change it. Most people I know with unique names, like them.
People worry to much about what other people think anyway. The world would be dull if everyone had a "normal" name feel free to name yours George or what have you, that's your call.
And, if a 9 year old did Hike across Turkey with a refrigerator and a Parrot on his shoulder with a microphone taped to his nipples, I would indeed think he was pretty fething awesome! hahahaha

Hey at least he took it in the spirit it was intended and laughed, I was trying to be funny not horrible. If more people understood some cutting humour and weren't girly men who cant take a few harshly typed sentences, I wouldn't have been banned in the first place.
But yeah, unique isnt good. I find it odd that any adult would think so. Dont we spend all of our teens desperately trying to fit in? Goths have their own little gang where they feel like they belong, evreyone wants to be liked and fit in, so i dont think calling a boy "Earthgrinder Pindlepiss" or some such nonsense is going to make him a happy fething camper is it?!
I can think of loads of good names without even trying here, Ill do the whole alphabet.

Didn't Stephen Levitt have a chapter in Freakonomics begin with an alleged radio conversation about a little baby girl being named S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D? Meant to be pronounced Shu-teed, of course.

But that would imply that I had to ask for one when the default: "Could you please wait until we're not in public for once" is more appropriate, but doesn't have a nice ring...

I think you've just named my firstborn. Mind you, my plan is to make my kids hate me. I'm going to tell them there's no santa, that the tooth fairy retired and is now a tooth stealing hit man, that there is a boogie man (he just dances a lot) and that we ate the easter bunny....
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

If Matt Ward ever manages to reproduce (I shudder to think what that spawn would look like) we all know it will be named after a certain spiritual liege.
Games Workshop: Ruining Chaos Space Marines since 2007
First they raised prices on the Eldar, and I did not speak out because I did not play Eldar.
Then, they raised prices on the Orks, and I did not speak out because I did not play Orks.
Then, they raised prices on the Nids, and I did not speak out because I did not play Nids.
Then, they raised prices on the Marines, and there was nobody to speak out for me.

Naw, that could never happen. It's pretty evident that he hates women. Have you read his fluff? It's all about SoBs and their fight against the red tide, now if ever there was a cheap shot against women, that was it. And some people wonder why all the Matt Ward hate...

Lucius is Lucius the Eternal, you might be getting mixed up with Lukas the Trickster from the Space Wolves.
In any case, I think people would be quicker to link 'Lucius' with Harry Potter more than Warhammer, which may or may not be a good thing.*
