My son has a regular nameSo nice you named it twice. If you do Houston, it's going to be a middle or nickname, give him something else to go by.

Purpledevil Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Congratulations on the addition to your family. I, too, have an odd name (at least you won't see it on a key chain anywhere) and it led me to be nicknamed the "L-10-11" because I was "built like a jumbo jet".When you stand 6'1" and weigh over 220lbs in 8th grade, nicknames like that tend to arise. It could've been worse, my grandmother was a big child as well, and they called her "Fatty Arbuckle". Anyway, my letterman's jacket still has the "L-10-11" inscribed on the back of it, but I have moved away from using my God given first name. Due to absolutely no one being able to pronounce it correctly on the first attempt, I use my middle name Joseph, which has shortened to "Joe". If you can't pronounce that correctly, well I don't know what to tell you, lol. I kind of hate that I was named after my late grandfather, whom I have much respect for, but don't use it for the aforementioned reasons.

Specwriter Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Austin and Travis seem to be popular names for boys. I don't recall ever meeting someone whose first name is Fannin or Crockett though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This guys name is Houston Nutt.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Nutt...except he was raised in Arkansas. You might get away with some names: Bryan in Bryan, Texas, but not Houston in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 ...except he was raised in Arkansas. You might get away with some names: Bryan in Bryan, Texas, but not Houston in Houston. The name Houston Nutt would be fitting for about half the people I know and most people on the freeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
