After which institution of higher learning would YOU name your baby?

I'm going with Faber.

If I was naming after alma maters I guess I'd have Mary and Dom. Pretty boring. I like the school mascot names but naming my son Testudo would just be cruel.

All of the Aggies that I know are short for Agnes. A rather "old" name.

However, in the case of Texas A&M, sadly these "Aggies" are likely not short for Agnes. Tragically, these parents probably are *actually* naming their child after the mascot.

Yep, some from that school are just that weird....

My uncle went to Texas A&M. Luckily, he did not name either of his children Aggie. Though he did name them after where they were born...Virginia and York. I'm sure, growing up, York must've been teased by the other schoolchildren. Anyways, even though he didn't name either of his kids Aggie, he is still a very weird person.

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.

I like names with personality.
