if your last name is Bates? I wanted to do this because I like the name but my wife declined. Do you think this would scar the child?

As much as you like the name, I'm sure you love your son more. Why would you put him through the un-necessary teasing that would follow? The poor kids going to get enough of a tough time being Master Bates, anyway. Don't make it worse!

Well, that could be the debate of your lifetime...picking a name for your child is a hard thing to do....I would maybe go with something else, but who is to say he wouldnt be scarred if you name him John? I wanted to name my son Rhett Butler, and got veto-ed. I went 9 months and could not pick a name. The birth certificate lady was standing over my bed and I could not leave the hospital until a name was chosen...I got the baby book, opened it and chose the first name I saw...Austin. (I used Lee for the middle name after his dad.) And now, I couldn't imagine a better name if I had tried !!!!

Your poor son, bates is not an easy name to deal with in the first place...just think about it. So WHY would you name him norman? you might as well name him thermen mermen for petes sake.

Yes... just with the name Norman alone.
No offense to any Normans out there... it's just odd and it makes me think about Newman from Seinfeld because they sound similar.

Well...you can if you really want to but I don't suggest it. I mean, no one names their child Madonna anymore...if you get what I'm saying. I don't think it's in the best interest of the child either.

I don't think I'd do it. That movie is a classic. It's gonna be around forever. Why take the chance?

Sure, why not? It's not like your surname is Hunt and you want to name your son Mike.
