Romelu Lukaku - a Belgian soccer player - has said that his name is a portmanteau of his father's three names: ROger MEnama LUkaku.

My dad was Paul William Nihsen. That means my name would be Pawini. My son's would be Dapani. HIS son would be Zanani.

What would your name be? (If female you can use your mom's married name.)[DOUBLEPOST=1464107706,1464107602][/DOUBLEPOST]My daughter (using my wife's name) would be Keanni and her daughter would be Saloni or (if she marries her current boyfriend) Salose.

My first name would be Bech.

Hmm... not too bad, actually.

Your dad only has two names? Huh. I thought three was pretty standard.

Dachgi

Raraak. I could deal with that.

Jun's would be (Using her mother's name) : Pish or Shpi
(Using her Father's name): Gaxuli or Lixuga depending if you do traditional Last/First or First/Last

Christopher Stanley David Piers (he goes by Dave)

So, mine would be Chstdapi.

Hurm. Doesn't really work with me, does it?

My son's name would be Nicopi. That's not bad.

Dawast.
Son would be Jalest.
Daughter would be Nialwe (she's an elf!)

Lybebr

I'm Lileth

That works fairely well.

Wiroca is here to kill you all!

Repa. My girflriend's sister's son is similarly named after godmother and godfather.

Dave, three names are only common in specific religious groups. Catholics amongst others.

Chwibr

That's... odd

We use 4 names. I would be Gusradogi. Gabriela would be Gusradola. I kinda like that.

ROger JOhn MOyer


I would be Rojomo!

Gameni. Sounds like a Pokémon.

e: Hah, school's autocorrect put the accent on the e for Pokémon. Neat.

hold on, I just remembered father does have three names. Eh, we don't use them much. I wouldn't be Repa, I'd be Relojo. Better, I guess?

In the USA, sure.
Still, my wife has 4 names, sister-in-law just a middle initial (like Truman), took until the 3rd one before the standard 3-name happened.

--Patrick

Yeah my grandfather on my dad's side only had a middle initial, and I think my grandmother had no middle name.

Also, my dad's middle name is actually my grandma's maiden name.

Demaho.

Uh, no thanks.

No vowels.
Oh well.

--Patrick

Chstbr. Wow. It looks like text speak. Or a sneeze. Now let's try it with my Mum's name. Lujobr. And the sneezing continues.

Looks like an abbreviation for chest-burster.

Had any weird aliens attach to your face lately?

Haha! I was thinking of my family nickname for me - Christa Bear. And luckily, no, nothing's attached to my face. >_<

By my dad's current legal name:
Anne.

By his original birth name:
Joanne.

No, seriously.

Safama

My name would be Jaedba. My sons name would be Fredalba.

My name would be Arhole.

ARHOLE.

Makes me wish my last name really WAS Pomona.

My daughter would have no vowels. [emoji14]

Anmaga, maternally-speaking. And had there been a Li'l Z-ette, she'd be Lymach. I'm pretty amused by both those results.

Aw, Li'l Z could have been Milach, Misakach, or Sakach. Or would it be Chsaka, if we're going traditional Chinese with surname first.

Hey you no vowel haters!

I'm a watching you!

Aussie would be Chwibl. Our children are Shmibl and Limibl. Bahahaha! They sound like they should be a Weeble family.

The problem with this naming convention, though, is that for the male line, the first two and last two letters of the name will never change.

If Romelu does the same thing for his son, his name would also be Romelu (his middle name is also Menama). If Romelu gives his son a different middle name, however (for instance, I don't know, Howard), his grandson would be named Roholu. And then it just continues down the line.

Scnopl.

That kinda sucks.

I'm confused. In remembering his middle name, you seem to have changed his last name.

...I would be MaMaMa.

First name and two middle names, so I cut his last name.[DOUBLEPOST=1464179958,1464179803][/DOUBLEPOST]

I was thinking about how it wouldn't work if you had more than one child of each gender. Take @stienman's kids for example. All of his boys would be named after him.

He could go the George Foreman route and make them "[stienman] 1,2,3" etc.

Dafrdo. I dunno, I don't see that working for me.

I wrote my dad an e-mail thanking him for not naming me Arhole. My stepmother apparently found it extremely amusing.

I'd have to involve barrel shifting for the first three:

Maadda <- Original
Addama <- Shift
Damaad <- Shift

Then I'd have to mix it up:

Daadma <- Last middle first
Admada <- Shift
Madaad <- Shift

But I'd still be short two names (as of this post).

Wivata. My son would be Jopota. His son could be Sejata.

Does this sound like a Pokemon evolutionary chain to anyone else?

Micoro...yes! I sound like a Dragonball character!

Brdasc, my son would be Mabrsc. My dad would be Arabsc.

So many of these sound like license plates.

--Patrick

CaElCa would be my name. Yikes!

Our daughter would be HeElCa. Also yikes.

DaCloc. I apparently would be a rapper.

Hmmm...

Jofrbr, yep, nope.

Our daughter (using wife's maiden name) would be Kireto, or married Kirebr.

I'd be...Mafrri? Feel like I should fantasy it up with M'afr'ri or something.

So I assume she'd get trapped in a VR game that would have 14 really good episodes, and a bunch of needless crap interlaced with a FEW good moments afterwards.

My name would be Frwiri

My wife would be Dimara

My son would be Chwrri

My daughter would be Anmari

This is the type of stuff that builds a fantasy universe, lol.

My name would be Jogéfra (Joseph Gérard François, although we never use the first two).

I however only have the one name, so my son would be... Si? I guess?
