      My last name is Browning, like the gun manufacturer (distant relation). I used to joke that if I ever had boy/girl twins I would name them Colt Winchester (boy) and Biretta Glock (girl). I nearly got Colt for my youngest, but there were too many kids named Colton around.

      I also really wanted to name my first son Charlemagne. This was because back in high school when we studied the Holy Roman Empire all the girls in class were talking about how Charlemange was such a beautiful sounding name. I figured that he’d have to put up with some shit growing up, but it would all pay off because not only would he wind up with a name that people loved to say, but he’d also be resilient and hopefully with a solid sense of humor.

      My wife vetoed this nearly as soon as the ring was on her finger.

        Jesus christ you’re awful with names for your kids.

        I hope you two didn’t choose the name that has the beautiful meaning of “lightbringer” and end up naming one of your boys “Lucifer”

            Here’s an idea, one should not name kids after characters considered bad or evil. EVEN IF IT COULD BE INTERPRETED MULTIPLE WAYS.
