New Names For My Aaron Friends

"Nebraska Aaron" has spoken. No more calling him "Nebraska Aaron" (and it had such a ring). So, I have decided to start calling him Clarence. So, I think we need to vote on names for my remaining three Aaron friends so that I'm not "categorizing Aarons with their corresponding states," whereby "implicating socioeconomic stereotypes. ie... [making] New York Aaron so much cooler than [Nebraska Aaron... er... Clarence]. So, I will list the Aarons not yet with an alias and follow up with a list of approved names to vote on.

Aarons:
New York Aaron
Work Aaron
Aaron P (from Detroit)

Possible Names (in alphabetical order):
Abel
Bernard
Clyde
Eustice
Hector
Johann (for a classy flare)
Lyle
Morris
Percy
Reynaldo (for a Spanish flare)
Walter

Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is for entertainment value only and will not be used. Henceforth the Clarence previously known as "Nebraska Aaron", will be called by his true name, A-Ron Hoff-A-Meyer (or A-Ron for short).

How 'bout Petri dish #1, Petri dish #2 and Petri dish #3?

How about we name everyone George Foreman?

I think naming everyone George Foreman (though popular in the George Foreman family) would ultimately be just as confusing as leaving everyone Aaron. Good brainstorm, though.

I still like Eustice.

So, what you're saying, Clyde, is that you would prefer to called Reynaldo?...

12/7/05 13:41  

Reynaldalina is even better.

Hector was totally my spanish name in high school. I think that would be even more confusing if the former NY Aaron who was briefly called Clyde but is now either Hector or Reynaldalina had the same name as I did 8 years ago...before any of you knew me.

See how confusing that is?

NY Aaron votes:

Clyde: 1
Reynaldo: 2 (since Aaron get two votes)
Reynaldalina: 1

Anyone else got an opinion?

12/7/05 15:29  

NOT Hector: 1

12/7/05 15:30  

I like Hubert.

I knew a genius named Chris. Not too specatacular of a name. One Prodigy named Chris, another named Ellen, another named Michael, and another named Lisa.

I know of a doug who is an absolute retard.

Doug - I like all 'Bert names. Hubert, Dilbert, Dogbert...

I think one of you should be named Julio. That way when you and Julie are hanging out by a school she can sing the Simon and Garfunkle song about "...me and Julio down by the schoolyard.."

...it's been a long day...

12/7/05 17:40  

I can tell because I thought that was extremely clever. I'm going to look at that a groan tomorrow.

12/7/05 17:40  

Nope. Pretty much NOT a Johann. How 'bout Lyle (since Clyde doesn't work for you), or Morris?

Brooke - I laughed.

Josh - Haha

Johann is an awesome name. How about Sebastian, or Wolfgang?

Personally I'm fond of Percy, Juseppie, and Bob.

13/7/05 08:54  

I like Bob too, but can we spell it BoB?

13/7/05 10:39  

Fbob with the f being silent.

13/7/05 14:33  

You want "Classy" Aaron? Doug has suggest Fbob (with a silent F), but for real flair how 'bout PhBob (with a silent "ph")??
