Rejected names for the kid

As in: Prognostication

Im-possible names, offered jokingly and rejected sternly, for the impending Riley:

  • Smileton—it could go by "Smiley Riley"; gender-neutral.
  • Envy—sounds cool but was rejected for being one of the seven deadly sins.
  • Friendly—embodies values we'd like the lil shaver to have, but was rejected anyhow.
  • Hamish—Scottish detectives do not namesakes make. Bonus: a future dog, like a corgi or a collie or a scottie, can have this name.
  • Pubert.
  • Bernard, Henry, Cletus, Leo, Crysanthia—all of my grandfather's syblings' names were tossed in one fell swoop.
  • Pants—dismissed along with most other nouns.
