Much like the first time we ran one of these in the forum, we're looking to increase participation in non-front page aspects of the site.
So, here's the deal. Imagine you're having a new child (boy or girl, it's your choice). If your wife/husband/baby-mama/daddy gave you permission, what Buckeye-inspired name would you give the child?
All you have to do is add a comment to this thread and we'll pick one winner randomly to receive a shirt of their choice from 11W Dry Goods.
We'll leave this open until Monday 8/8/2011 at 5:00PM ET.
Christopher Dane. My all-time favorite Buckeye, with a middle-name nod to my fav recent player.

Jesse. Either way.
Taquitos.
We were blessed with twin daughters. If they were boys their names would have been Luke and Matt.

Seven Gamble. No joke. Favorite #, many great 7's in Buckeye lore, favorite player (along with Eddie of course) and Seinfeld inspired.

Fundamentals are a crutch for the talentless.
Boy Griffin Girl Archilena
boy - Tresswood
Woodrow Tatum
Sloopy. Boy or girl.
But if twins, then Scarlet (hers) & Gray (his).
Brutus W.W. Spielman
Dane Germaine.
Owen Christopher
My daughter's name is Quinn after Quinn Pitcock.
-The Aristocrats!
girl: Scarlett Anne(d)
boy: Woody Katz
Boy = Hondo Archibald
Girl = Katie Hawk
Ken-Yon Rambo, really the best name ever no need to tinker with it.
Boy: Troy Beanie
Girl: Scarlet Dane-ina
Woodrow James Tiberius. The first two speak for themselves and Tiberius because I lost a bet.

boy- a.j. wilhelm spielmanaitis
girl- beanie sualua griffin-george
Boy: Red-Kryptonite Oden
Don't laugh, my first kid was either gonna be Coalhouse Walker or Cleveland Armory but I had a girl.

No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.
Can't believe nobody would name their kid "By'Not'e"
That'd be my first choice, hands down
Definitely agree w/ Salberico... Scarlet for a girl is nice. That way it's not so much after a specific athlete or coach.
Boy or Girl:
Terrelle Marurice "The Beast" O'brien
My 3 favorite, most heartwarming Buckeyes of all time. It would also involve changing my last name to O'brien.
If you are a baseball fan, when Tim Kurkjian talks you listen while laughing at how big of a nerd he is.
Bradley Patterson (last name here)
It isn't exactly sports related but when my wife and I met she was living in Bradley Hall and I was in Patterson Hall.
**If we were to have twins boy and girl their middle names would definately be Scarlet and Gray.
How about:
First Name: Flamingo
Middle Name: Knee
Last Name: McGahee
I mean it rymes and makes me laugh and brings back great memories.
Sorry Willis!
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
Girl: Carmen
Boy: Sloopy
that was easy
Cause I couldn't go for three
Any oppurtunity to name a child Hopalong would be great. Or Tippy Dye.
