Naming my children...

...ok, just to jump in on any thoughts running through random minds...no I'm not married *yet* smiley - winkeye, and I'm not knocked up (unless I'm having the Jesus baby, but I don't think God's sense of humour is that warped smiley - biggrin).

I am thinking of names for my dragon and phoenix...now, I suppose most people would know about the dragon on my right arm...and I'm sure I've told a few people about my plans to get a phoenix on my left arm...apart from the fact that I love the idea of the dragon and phoenix, the are supposed to represent the masculine and the feminine (maybe the phoenix will balance me smiley - weird)...and apart from that it appeals to my sense of symmetry...

So I'm trying to think of names...hopefully somewhere between too serious and too funny...and it's a bit tricky for me to think of any...so I beg the help of my friends (that'd be you guys smiley - biggrin) to help me pick out some names...

These are the ones I've thought of so far...

Abelard and Heloise
Bonnie and Clyde
Sid and Nancy
Lennon and McCartney
Statler & Waldorf (which isn’t really going to work if ones a boy and one’s a girl, but it’s still a good idea smiley - winkeye)
Sam & Eric
Eliza & Darcy
Pinky & the Brain
Benedick & Beatrice
Laurel and Hardy

...as you can tell I'm not doing too well...so any help would be much appreciated smiley - cheerup

Blackberry Cat , if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque

I like Abelard and Heloise
I've been planning to inflict the name Agamemnon on my first-born son
How about Paris and Helen or Napoleon and Joesephine smiley - biggrin

Abelard and Heloise would be my first pick too...I just don't know if it's a bit too...over-important...for tattoos smiley - erm??

Thanks for your suggestions...I figure when I get enough I will just sit down, get smiley - drunk and make a decision then smiley - ok

To be honest I was quite liking the idea of Eva and Adolf (as names, anyway), but I'm sure I have some philosophical argument with that smiley - laugh

(still liking Abelard and Heloise as my favourites...but I might have to think of nicknames for them smiley - winkeye)

(even though none of my friends would be suprised that I 1) had tattoos 2) named them after a monk and nun who wrote love letters to each other)

smiley - laugh

Hiya guys,

I've got a tattoo but never gave it a name, lol I guess I'll call it flower as its like a funky flower with spikes and swirls comming out from it, I forget it's there most of the time.

Luckily I don't wear a lot of short sleeved tops, although everyone at work found out pretty quickly about both of mine anyway...still I can't wait to get my next one smiley - smiley

(Kitty, you're problem is you're going back into mythology...and so few of those relationships were happy nice ones smiley - biggrin)

(the monk and the nun are sounding better all the time)

I initially considered Hephaestus and Aphrodite, Hepheastus being associated with fire and Aphrodite with beauty...but then, there relationship didn't really work out either...and I wouldn't want to hate my phoenix by association smiley - smiley
