Captain Caveman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) My wife and I are expecting our second son in October, and I would very much like to name him Kyle Williams, after our fearless Meatball. My wife hates the name Kyle, and I'm looking at a long uphill battle. Help me convince her TBD. Edited October 22, 2015 by Captain Caveman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just man up... Tell the wife this is how it is and she has no say in the issue. Once the divorce is final then you will be truly free to make your own decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is your last name Williams? If so, and if she doesn't like the name Kyle, meet her half way and call him "Meatball Williams". It's a win-win for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Tell her you're compromise and agree to nickname him T-Bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You should have said some awful name first and then when she says no then say "ok then how about Kyle" The name wouldnt have sounded so bad if you said a horrible name as your first choice. If all else fails there is.... Mario Aaron Duke Karlos and Chris CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sorry, I have to side with your wife on this. What if the original Kyle Williams ends up traded to the Dolphins and wins a super bowl with them? Also, I don't like the name Kyle either.

Captain Caveman Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I feel like you guys aren't trying very hard. If someone in this thread can really convince my wife, they will get two tickets to the game of their choice this year. (Tickets will be cheap seats, but beggars can't be choosers, except hopefully when it comes to naming my son.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with the pronunciation "Kyle", but use an alternate spelling such as "Ka'el", "Kill" (long "i" sound) or "Kyell" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I tried getting "Bryce," after Paup, for my son's middle name. No go. If you have to talk her into it, I wouldn't recommend it. 50/50, man. EDIT: Congrats!! Edited May 26, 2015 by Gugny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) You should have said some awful name first and then when she says no then say "ok then how about Kyle" Classic negotiation tactic. Start high to finish exactly where you intended all along. Example: Jauronimo: We are running a special where you can buy 10 widgets for just one easy payment of $9,999.99. Would you like to buy 100 widgets? Customer: No I would not, and f@#$ you in your f@#$ing @#$@ with a @#$% you dirty beerballing mother#@$%, you were born in your mothers @#$@#%, @#%@% you! Jauronimo: I understand money is tight and hear your concerns. Would you instead consider buying 1 widget for $900? Customer: Yes, that does sound like an amazing deal and I would be stupid not to take it. I am one smooth talking son of a b@#$! In this example the customer thinks they've won, but that was the outcome I was hoping for from the outset. Lets apply the same concept to Caveman's situation. Caveman: Honey, I'd love to name our first legitimate child Osama Bin Hitler. Its got spunk! Wife: I've never been happy. Caveman: It really rolls off the tongue! Wife: I am living a lie. Caveman: Plus its tough and unique. Wife: I think we need time apart. Caveman: Ok, how about Kyle Williams? Wife: Take me, Caveman. Take me now! In this scenario, not only did Caveman get the name he wanted but he also saved his sham of a marriage. Its really that easy! PM me if you'd like to earn $1,200 a week just by sitting on your couch.

Captain Caveman Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I may be able to get her to go along with it if he gets her last name. I'm considering it. No thanks to you clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait one cotton pickin' minute!! You want to name your son Ka'el so bad you're willing to give up your last name?? Moderators: This has to be a violation of the Terms of Service. Give this fella some warning points....or revoke his man card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 My wife and I are expecting our second son in October, and I would very much like to name him Kyle Williams, after our fearless Meatball. My wife hates the name Kyle, and I'm looking at a long uphill battle. Help me convince her TBD. I feel your pain. When our 2nd child our daughter was born I wanted to name her Shea after Shea Stadium, which was in it's last season before the Mets were going to play in their new ball park. My wife kind of compromised & agreed to have that as her middle name. Stick to your guns & divorce her if you have to. It will be worth the thousands of dollars in attorney fees & child support you will pay over the next 21 years just so you could proudly call your son Kyle. I may be able to get her to go along with it if he gets her last name. I'm considering it. No thanks to you clowns. This is a no no. Non negotiable the child takes the dad's last name. When we were getting married my wife wanted to hyphenate her last name. I told her if my name alone wasn't good enough for her then neither was I. Oddly enough she actually did show up for the wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
