Bloody hell, why did I not know of this thread?
I saw something on one of the CNN channels recently where they were talking to this couple about naming their child. I was curious as to why they would get on a national news station for it becuase, well you know, every expecting couple goes through the whole naming situation. Then after a few minutes my questions were answered when the father responds that his favorite suggestion was "Captain Amazing."(Ok I am a little hazy on the details and am in no way certain that is what it was, but I swear it was some sort of superhero related name that caused me to burst into tear inducing laughter.) Unfortuantely, and much to the father's dismay, they gave it some average name like Jason.
It seems that some countries are preventing future material as <a href="

The name choice isn't that funny, but the reasoning is.
Couple chose name because of the "reality" of his impending birth
