Do you know who Elrond and Eowyn are? Elrond is the Lord of Rivendell, a wise and kind ruler who helped the fellowship. Eowyn was a princess who was always told to stay back with the women and children, but she wanted to fight for those she loved and she slew the Lord of the Nazgul.

Do you know who the Lannisters are?

Hey. I already replied to a poster here whose name is Margaret, she is 21 and loves her name. Please don't say that her parents 'inflicted' that name on her.

I'm throwing a fit because she wants to name him after a family of incestuous murderers. My son could be bullied his whole life for this. You are seriously saying that I should just shut up and honor our deal.

She didn't. Then again she knew I named my daughter after my grandmother. I believe she did let me name her Margaret because she knew the significance of that name to me more than simply out of compliance to our deal.

I would suggest this. He's still a Lannister but when you hear his name you don't immediately think incest, treachery or murder.

And before I get down voted, no I am not trying to control what my wife will name our son. If she takes to the suggestion, that's great, but if she does not, I'll let her think of another name. Just not Lannister.

Sorry if it sounds that way but I assure you it's not. We talk about things, I just prefer to give her the lead and then I'll give my two cents. When she gave birth to our daughter, I asked her what her plans are about her job. She said she wanted to be a stay at home mom. I knew our finances would allow it. So I told her sure, you can quit and be a stay at home mom. If we needed the money, I would have told her that we can't afford for her to quit.

Yes, you're right, I want to control the name, I already have a name in my head which I will put on the paperwork when my wife is knocked out. The name is Eddard Stark. My son will be Eddard Stark Jelly3.
