I'm serious, the wife and I have narrowed it down to one of these name combos listed. The child isn't due until the 12th of August, but our doc says the kid is so big now, she won't let him go longer than the 2nd, or he'll be over 10 #s.
Since I don't want my lovely lady wife to ### my head in as I sleep, we go on or before 7:00 am Thursday next.
Your mission is to vote for the moniker we must add afterwards.
If you absolutely can't find a choice you like, feel free to suggest.
Some background: Tricia is 100% Irish, I'm 1/2 Norwegian, 1/4 Lithuanian, and the rest is probably Danish and Dutch. (My ancestors basically surround the North Sea.) Saint names are good, in my Dad's (Lithuanian) family the male line of decent was traditionally denoted by the name Joseph Paul, but my Dad was named Paul Joseph because when he was born, his father and both grandfathers lived in one house, and were all named Joe.
Herkimer is a Germanic word that means, "Bearer of the Great Spear", which is appealing (and probably accurate) and Mysterioso is just too cool to be ignored.
Marcus Epiphanius is good Latin naming practice, and translates as, "The Reborn Warrior" and carries connotations of religious awakening.
Fenner is actually an early English word for, "A very competent man." Ironic isn't it?
Paul Joseph is my father, and would honor my ancestors back to the monkeys.
Other names we have considered include: Seamus, Julius, Finbar, Peter, Archer, Cacciatore, Orien, Jefferson and a host of others.
