I'm very proud of my McCorkle ancestors.
Here is my son and I at the grave of my 5th great grandfather, Stephen McCorkle, who was born in 1735 and was one of the early settlers of Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina: The home built before 1821 by his son and namesake, Stephen McCorkle, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, is still standing and is on the National Register of Historical Places: |

My first name, Steven, originated from the Greek language as well, but my Stevens ancestors certainly weren't Greek. |

I say it's worth pondering the probable influence of schmucky names on the average amerikwan kid's chances of going queer.
Lucian, anyone? |

Our children are of German descent, as am I and my wife. We LIVED in Germany for several years, immersed ourselves in the culture, and learned a bit of the language (enough to murder it - I'm not good with learning languages). He was concieved in Germany - after several years of trying. His conception was very special to us, and in a special place to us - hence the German variation. Honestly, what most people "think" about their names isn't important beyond the academic argument about them.....which is what we are doing now. There are times when a child's name will just happen to be "obstensious" or "trendy" but still have a traditional and personal meaning to them. Just because a name is "trendy" at the time, does it mean that any and all family significance should be ignored? Also, don't forget, names become trendy *after* you may name you child. Hayden is a prime example. That name was virtually unheard of when we named our first born. 10 years later, however, and it became immensely popular (much to our disgust and dismay) - because there would be "guilt by association" like is being displayed here. Look up "trendy and popular names" for the 1990's. Hayden - a name with MUCH family significance (not to mention his middle name) was virtually unheard of. The same applies to all of our children. And......even if a name happens to be picked purely on "popularity" - as long as it is a historically white name - what difference does it really make? There is a difference between Lucian, Hayden, Alexander........and Bomqueesha, Le-a (Ledasha - the "-" don't be silent), and Deshawnda. The former are traditional names (even if based in antiquity), the latter are made up names that are based upon absolutely NOTHING. |

So - what you are saying is that faggotry is "social construct"? I hate to tell you, but there is absolutely ZERO chance that ANY amount of "social influence" could make me suck dick. I'm sure most members here would agree with me. Sorry if you are so weak willed a person to "experiment" because "everybody else is doing it" or "people don't like my name". Either you like dicks, or you do not like dicks. It's that simple, fucktard. Now, the exact reason a person likes (or licks in your case) dicks is up for debate. Genetic? Mental? Horomonal? What's your reason of licking dicks? Your mommy and daddy not love you enough as a child? Fuck you, Cocktractor. Look up the origins of the name, Brick Lane Boy. |

Alex, do you even know how the name Lucian is pronounced? Oh, btw - he goes by the American version of Luke. Once again - there's personal significance that has NOTHING to do with the fucking jews or bible. Sometimes, things coencide.
Like the computer you, Alex, are using right now, and the internet service you are using (and quite possibly this very server). Care to argue SEMITICS (pun intented)? Where was your computer made? Where are the majority of the parts produced? Who is the parent company (and affiliates) of the web provider? Who did they buy their servers off of? Who is the sales manager of that company? See where this is going? |

So I would suspect that the person he was writing about was a fag? |

One of my great-great grandfathers was named after him, an Irish-American by the name of Francis Marion Stacks: He always went by "Frank", though I have a feeling no one would have teased him about his real name. Last edited by Steven L. Akins; July 13th, 2012 at 06:34 PM. |

That is as rich as a butcher's turd, quite frankly. I do not know what passes for class where you come from but trying to take the piss out of the names of comrades' children in a shabby attempt to liven up your board is not my idea of class. In fact this is more akin to the actions of a Jewish shill. This place is an enigma to me. I see some fine writers here but a lot of what is said here puts me in mind of white niggers. I am appalled. |

The man makes the name, not the other way around.
Parents who give their children names that are way out of left field are demonstrating insecurity and desires for cheap attention. Then there are niggers, who just name their kids after whatever snack she happened to get out of the hospital vending machine. And how much more prestigious is it when you are just another 'Mark', but the one everyone thinks of first when they hear the name. |

If it sounds like a last name, don't use it as a first name: "Oh look - there goes Macaulay Jeremiah Bumpass, of the Sunnyvale Trailer Park Bumpasses!"
