Obsideon Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Kesler would be "ok" as a first name, it would definitely sound better if your surname is 2 syllables as well. Just don't name him Clutterbuck or Beiber lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molli Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 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...

aeronics Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We named our 2nd son linden. Our first born is Colin so they both have "Lin".. We were gonna name him linden alexandre as per burrows my husband's favorite player. But it was too long. So we changed his middle name and kept linden. It is a more common name than kesler. Bus as for the advice, make sure that ur wife is happy about it or else it's gonna be a messy fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Firstly, as hopefully you realise, the surname should always influence the christian name. There has got to be harmony. Secondly if you have a heritage i.e. you are off Scottish, Irish, French......whatever I would always go for a name that carries the heritage on. Kesler (there are a few versions I think) is German unless I am mistaken. So if your ancestry is German, fine, if you must. Other than that I find Kesler an ugly first name and certainly not one I would saddle my son with. In 10 -15 years I doubt if it will have much if any of the charisma you imagine it has. Your son has it for the rest of his life. Can I make a suggestion? Change YOUR name to Kesler and give your son a break by giving him a family name.

Bodee Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Great replies everyone. For the Record I was thinking about Kesler Ryan Larkin, or just Kesler Larkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 How about you name him Ryan...? would-be parents treating their children as their own adolescent billboards... This makes no sense. Billboard for what? You have to come up with a name for a child somehow and it's not like they're suggesting something absurd...it's a good name. Your statement is a little harsh. And Nosaj: what some aren't grasping is that the instant your child arrives the name becomes about them and nothing else. So even if the hockey player that inspired the name is completely irrelevant at a certain point, once your child has the name, it becomes filled with adoration, love and connected to the child. The source no longer matters and regret won't likely enter the picture. Bodee, seriously? No. I doubt anyone restricts themselves with the guidelines you've presented. You pick a name you like for your child, end of story. Or at least everyone I've ever known has done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 He's due on July 4th and you want to name him after a famous American hero? You should name him Smith-or Hiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raph Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Since you live in Seattle, I think it's fine for a first name. Kesler by itself is a realistic sounding first name. If you were in Vancouver, I think it would raise a little too much attention. And who knows, things can change a lot in 10 years. Makes me wonder if anyone named their kids Pavel or Bure back in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanucks-17 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Wow these replies have been fun to read. Thanks for all your input, Bodee we were thinking about Luke as well. How funny. Kesler will most likely be in his name somewhere; Luke Kesler... Then again Kassian is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horny Manatee Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If you like Kesler so much why don't you name your kid "Hurt Everyspring?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 There was a picture of a friend of mine on Facebook holding a newborn baby named 'Kesler' I guess it's not so uncommon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
