Oh, man, that reminds me of an old commercial for the Chrysler Concord. The ad campaign was promoting the car's roomy interior, especially the backseat. I only saw the commercial once because I expect it was pulled off the air quickly.

Mom, 5-ish-year-old daughter and baby are driving in the car.

Daughter: Mommy, where did we get our names?
Mom: Well, we named you girls after where you were conceived. Your dad and I went on our honeymoon to Savannah, so that's how you got your name.
Daughter: And what about my sister?
Mom: [long pause] ...Um... Concord is a city in New Hampshire, dear.

bwhahaha i had to think long and hard about that one!!

sigh, i dont think naming a kid New York (Univ) would be flattering. Hell, it got that skank 2 seasons on a highly rated show... but i digress...

I suppose I could go with Gallatin, Stern or Tisch, as they are all names of people anyway. sheesh, EVERYTHING at NYU is named after someone... i wouldnt be surprised if 20 years from now, i visit as an alum to the "Wachovia Student Center" or "Verizon Wireless Library."

Actually, I like Cole (after Coles Sports Center). That might work. Let's just hope he/she doesnt get beat up.

Remington. I think it's one of those internet colleges, but I think it would make a great boy's name

And if that happens, give the kid a smoking jacket when's he's born!

There really is a Bennington College, in Vermont. One of my profs went there. It sounds about the same as Remington. Alot of the smaller colleges have names that are good, they seem to have more creative names:

Hope (College, in MI)
William Woods (College, in MO)
Westminster (same as above)
Linden (Lindenwood College, also in MO)
Mars (Mars Hill College, in NC)
Norbert (St. Norbert's College, in WI)
Benedict (St. Benedict, there are several in the US, incl. KS)
Paul (De Paul U. - Chicago, IL)
I suppose you could use Loyola ....

I can just see little Benny now.

I've actually heard about Bennington College, thanks to the Cosby Show.

If you folks don't remember, it's that episode where Denise fesses up to Cliff and Claire about how she dropped out of Hillman. They make reference to Bennington College (at that time it had the most expensive tuition in the nation) and Theo tries to convince his parents to fork over $$$.

And the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton! I LOVE that movie!! :) :)

Look people, Aggies are not weird, you guys are the ones that are off:D

I like names with personality.

Like Fakey McFakerton?

giggle.

I've seen a couple guys at Baylor named...Baylor.

Haha, wow. On the other hand, I guess they could say that it's their school.

Berkeley College - OTW, can you get me another smoking jacket?
Liberty University -- I think there have been a few Liberties around, but I wouldn't want my offspring to join that club
Baldwin-Wallace College -- that could be a first and a middle name
Denison University -- Deni for short
Franklin University -- Little Frankie, the bambino!
John Carroll University -- JC makes a nice nickname
Kent State University -- Kent will be KSUViolet's first child
Kettering College -- this kid will come out of the birth canal wearing glasses
Lourdes College -- Madonna's daughter
Oberlin College -- I went to high school with an Obie
Xavier Univeristy -- I know a few Xavier's and they are always good looking

Ok, so the brother of Mr. RN's best friend just had a daughter and they named her Berkeley. I don't know why. Neither of them went to college, so who knows??

And did they even stop for a moment to think how often throughout her lifetime the meanies will flip that right into "Barkley"?

I can't believe you went there :D Wait, yes I can ;) LOL.

Probably not. Those 2 are idiots, and probably don't stop to think period.

While I would never name my child Georgia while still living in the state (even though technically I live on the other side of the river in SC now but I still claim to be a Georgian), I have always liked the name Georgia for a girl.

I did think of a few names to pay homage to UGA, though...Sanford, Tate or Grady for a boy. Holmes and Hunter for twin boys. Ha. The only name I can think of for a girl would be Brumby and I wouldn't curse my daughter with that name (I hated living there).
