MrCanucks-17 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm from Seattle and love the Canucks. Of course my favirote player is from the USA, Ryan Kesler. So my wife and I just found out were having a boy around July 4th. Ryan Kesler is my top male role model for his passion, determination, and back checking. What do you all think of naming my son Kesler? I love it, my wife not so much. Just looking for feedback here, and hopefully some ammunition I can use on my wife Also, yes I have already though of Bieksa as a first name (LoL) Mr Canucks #17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck-Man Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It's a last name, so it would be kinda weird. Maybe as a middle name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool story bro Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I dunno. I always thought it's kinda retarded to name your kid after some public figure. I love Kesler and all but I'd never do that. I heard of a guy who named his kid Linden. Thats not THAT weird since it's already sometimes a first name, and a type of flower. But still, it's kind of the same thing as some people wanting to name their kids La-a or Rainbow or Deshawnda or Sambiroqua or other retarded crap like that. I knew a girl once whose mom was ridiculously stupid. She had a first name, 5 middle names, and a last name, and they were all incredibly retarded. I don't want to say her full name since that'd be mean to her but it involved a few words like Rainbow, Angel, Love. What the hell, parents.

MrCanucks-17 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 As a middle name maybe. My thoughts are that naming a boy reflects important values us fathers see, and beleive are important. Kesler to me sounds strong while still being unique. Totally agree on the sunshine, rain, and other wierd names but for some reason Kesler resonates with me...Anybody else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmotamed Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Famous people come and go, your child will always be with you... I recommend naming them something not as fleeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DING Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It's like a tattoo. Would you get Ryan Kesler tattooed on your body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dufflebagg Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 If I ever have a boy I want to name him Henrik, so I guess what I'm about to say is going to sound hypocritical, but I don't think you should name your child after another person who is not a ) related to you or b ) a close friend / loved one. Don't get me wrong, if you want to just pick a name and go with it that's fine (please not Rainbow or Moonbeam though... ugh), but you and your wife and all of your family will know that he was named after some dude who you've never met, but just happen to have a big (albeit deserved) man-crush on. Besides, happy wife happy life, so there's an even more compelling reason to just forget about it. (on the other hand, Ryan is a fine name for a boy, and nobody will assume he's named after anyone... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill-House Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Or you can do what Kesler did and form a name from your first and last names. Ryan Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCanucks-17 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks Guys! Figured this was a good place to get some feedback, sucks being in Seattle where NHL IQ is very low I do like the name Kesler created, Ryker. Anyways, we have till early July so maybe Kesler hoisting the Stanley Cup will push me over as far the name goes LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
