Dr. Hockey Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think Kesler - meanings aside - sounds like a cool first name. However, it is inevitable he/you will be asked if it has anything to do with Ryan Kesler. Right now, the answer would be "yes" and everything will be great. In 6 years when he plays for another team, it will need to be explained that he used to play for the Canucks - you're favorite team - but now plays for a rival team. A little awkward. In 20 years Ryan Kesler will be washed up and people will make comparisons accordingly. He will now be named after a has-been. In 40 years only veteran NHL or Canucks fans will remember who Ryan Kesler even is, and only at this time will the name not be awkwardly conjoined to a celebrity. Still..... meanings aside, it sounds like a cool first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yjirda Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 By then his boy will be kicking butt in his young life, and family friends will already know the story of his name, and people will be like Ryan Kesler who? OR they will be like; "Kesler? Like that shirt hanging up at Rogers, of the guy who help win the Canucks' first cup back in '12!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff 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.

snochick Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm from the states and Kesler is my favorite player, also. However, please listen to your wife! Like the earlier poster said "happy wife, happy life!" And in reference to Seattle's low hockey IQ...be glad you don't live in Wyoming! Talk about a hockey wasteland!! Hockey fans here are definitely a minority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snochick Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 To be honest, "Ryker" is a stupid name, too. It's not unique because everyone else is naming their precious snowflakes the same thing. There are too many little Aiden Brayden Jaydens running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeBrew Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Maybe go for the nicknames instead like "Steamer" or "Juice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Whisht Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 First name, last name, no biggie Many families honour their ancestors by using Mum's maiden name as a kid's first or middle name. Do think about what a previous poster said though. If or when your fave player gets traded (and becomes hated), falls from grace, etc., you may think differently about it. Mind you, you're not calling him Whitney or Lohan or otherwise losers. What happens when everyone wants him to pose naked? As a wife, though, I agree, don't mess with her if she's against it. Maybe she'd agree to it for a middle name - you can always nickname him Kes if you want then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf 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...
