Baby Boy Names - gli ottavi di finale -

Here we are with the first of our Ottavo di finale, the first selection of names to be scaled down...

... we start with the Boy Names ...

Last week we had a load of names, and this week we eliminate some of the names and we tell you why...

Follow our murky and crazy brain in the quest for the perfect name for our imperfect baby
(after all is a micia and micio production so she/he will be awesome but definitely not perfect....)

Let's remember where we were last week and see why the name we took out lost their battle:

Leonardo - I really could not stand the name and I have to say i blame "The big bang theory " for that ... it has nerd in it... and then people would call him Leo ...  and how dreadful that would be...:P

 Richard II  - what did Richard the second do???? ... .... exactly .... nobody even remembers Richard the second... he could not be the lion heart and he is not going to give a speech about the winter of our discontent.... and then if he will ever go to America they will call him JR ....(starts to play in my mind) 

so NO NO NO to Richard the second

 Edward - Do we really even need to discuss this.... Edward.... Twilight... expressionless, lame, boring, dull and winner of the saddest vampire of all centuries award ... do i really want my son to look like if he is about to take a dump...all the time????????? So another Veto from me....

Akira - Veto from Richard... to quote "are we fricking Japanese????" "WTF Akira Chiesa?????" "Not a chance on earth" ... so no Akira... our baby will not bring  Armageddon to the world nor he will become Testuo - the iron man... ( I was hoping)

Tarquin -  We love this name, but let's face it, we are never ever going to be able to afford Public school so unless we want our baby to be bullied forever this is not the name for us.... can you see Tarquin strutting his stuff in Peckham???? Well we could not either...

Edmund - No reason in particular.... but we could not even like it anymore... and then he will have to climb Everest or do something crazy like that.... so Edmund did not make the cut...

We are left with the eight names for the quarter finals:

Next week we will eliminate more names....
