shhhhhhhhhhh
Chad. So simple, yet so elegant
Chadley even
I'm partial to Chaddington
Don’t forget Chadrick too
Probably the biggest prick move I did in high school was name the Audi conv I bought, Chadworth. The name IMO drips hobnobbing at its finest but it sticks...
~Chadwin~
Alastair
Alastair from AMT was the best
No idea what AMT is but take the banana
Taking SIE these days and my first thought was Alternative Minimum Tax.
ahh this brings back memories. we had Rob Farmer in New York.
X Æ A-12
bro, imagine how good that would look large and centered on the top of a crisp resume -
I wonder what his nickname will be - probably just 'X'. Like Xzibit

Know quite a few guys named John and Michael who are killing it rn. Also know afew Johns and michaels who are not.
I 2nd Michael; we might know the same guy
lmao great retort
Appreciate your insight
Holy shit you're right. I know these triplets, and the two named John and Michael are in IB, but the other isn't (poor guy didn't get the right name I guess /s)
William Charles Lawrence Niles Ellison Kingsley
Can I have british names for $500 please?
Instructions unclear. Named baby "Eggsy" and now he's a chav.
Niles? Were you thinking of Nigel?
Trip
Tripp, Trey, Tres, Chip, Skip, Junior, Bud, like wtf
Something like Chip Whatford would be a great name.
Trippie Redd
Justine
Xavier is underrated, yet sophisticated
Xander
Everything you need to know about https://www.facebook.com/therealbrosofsimivalley/videos/its-me-your-boy…</a">Xander
Xavier is one of the dopest names out there. Its complicated yet classy. It really has it all.
For some not totally douchy names I’d throw in
Archer Thomas Grant
I would give anyone named Archer a job
I'd ask if they were good with the bow and arrow. Or if a crossbow even counts...
Given two of my three boys are named Thomas and Grant, I approve of this message
For some not totally douchy names I'd throw in
Archer
Also consider Randy Randerson, or just Rando for short.
Chadwick Prescott
Lloyd
D’Brickashaw
that was derived from a literary reference, strong agree
Jayden, Brayden, Kayden, McGayden
That last one is definitely going places
McDonalds is developing a quirky gay mascot that solves problems. He is a friend of Ronald McDonald - Rayden McGayden. It was a new age campaign started before the virus hit, so not sure if they are going to follow through with their marketing plan, but it looked promising.

Today on LinkedIn I found a profile for a PE Pro at Blackstone named Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition to being a likely descendant of the greatest general of all time, other qualifications include a Masters in Mgmt from HEC and a Harvard MBA. The guy fucks.

I've always liked the French name Axelle (or Axel) for a boy or girl. That said, my longtime SO and I are Black and Asian (Korean), respectively so if we ever had kids have no clue what name I'd choose.
Anyone have any good non-European names they've liked recently?
