A lot of people seem to think we should have a baby naming contest for the upcoming IMAO baby. I think that’s a great idea, but I don’t know if SarahK will consider it binding. Anyway, I’ll at least share with you some of the names I’ve been thinking of:
Rocket Punch Fleming
Dark Vengeance Fleming
Dragon Fleming
Ghost Dog Fleming
Flammable Fleming
Ultimate Fleming
Gene Parmesan Fleming
He Who Shall Not Be Named Fleming
And here are some more names I was thinking of. Sometimes, I’m not sure if they’re boys’ or girls’ names:
Coffee
Magnum
Thor
Awesome
Metallica
Apocalypse
Schnappi
Olaf (no one would mess with a kid named Olaf)
And there were some good suggestions on Twitter:
Mr. T Fleming
El Guapo Fleming
Agent Fleming (that was from Lair)
So that’s to get things started. If you having any other good name I ideas, throw them out and maybe later we can have a vote on the best. I think my favorite so far is “Dark Vengeance Fleming”. I think “Vengeance” sounds like it should be a girl’s name.
UPDATE:
Someone on Twitter mentioned she knew someone who named his sons Drake, Ronin, and Legend.
Ronin. Hmm…
My vote is still for Anya Christina Emmanuella Fleming.
Hippie Puncher Fleming.
I mean, why lie?
You could call him Frank Fleming IV.
Then, when he asks what happened to Frank Fleming Jr and Frank Fleming III, you say “They asked me too many stupid questions.”
Instant obedience.
-ls
Hrothgar. Good Viking name. Nobody messes with that kid, either.
Boom Boom Fleming (this kid’s not messing around)
Duke Nukem Fleming (no explanation needed)
Moon (no Fleming, just Moon, OK, Moony if it’s a girl)
Ima Fleming
Basil Harvey Fleming (Basilly Harvette Fleming if it’s a girl)
(reverse my last or Harvey will be upset)
Pingback: mountaineer musings » Blog Archive » Baby naming contest
No stupid names, no names that are actually last names, no “Ronin” (though I appreciate the sentiment).
Give the child a real name, Frank. Like, say, Marko.
Nevermind, no Marko either. That’s a foreign name.
How about “Lewis Burwell Puller”?
I still like the sound of Rampage! Fleming (The exclamation mark is a requirement though).
OnTarget Fleming wouldn’t be *too* bad.
Moon-Blaster Fleming
Dinosaur Jr. Fleming
Get Off my Lawn Fleming
Lothar Fleming
Abraham Washington Fleming
Sookeh Fleming!
[You misspelled “Snooki”. -Ed.]
Remington Fleming?
Oh, heck with it.
Zap Rowsdower!
Hammer Fleming. Sounds like an Irish boxer.
* Joe Palermo Fleming
* Joe Don Baker Fleming
* Blast Hard Cheese Fleming
* Pumaman (“Pu-may-man”) Fleming
* Phantom of Krankor Fleming
Keep in mind that for a boy name, it has to be both a good curling name and a good hockey name.
Babette Fleming, the Scourge of Ada County
Boanerges Fleming
Lord Death Fleming
Eduardo Lopez Fleming (best initials ever!)
Eye Gouger Fleming
Liver Eater Fleming (my nickname growing up, btw)
I Can Beat Up Chuck Norris Fleming
Gatling Gunner Fleming
F Fleming (When they ask what the F stands for, you can just punch them in the throat)
Ronaldus Maximus Fleming
As an aside, I have a nephew with a middle name of Thor.
Until he/she’s born Cletus The Fetus Fleming
afterwards
Ian Competent Fleming (pays homage to the James Bond Author and IMW)
Lastname Firstname Fleming (i think it’d give a few teachers piles)
Danger Danger Fleming (danger’s my middle name, my first name too)
and if its a girl
Barack Obama Fleming (after our first female president)
Stonecold Hattrick Fleming
Phlegm Ming Fleming
Fred Thompson Fleming
Flame Fleming (only if a redheaded girl, in which case, I offer to adopt as I only had sons)
Aristotle Fleming
This child will be the beginning of your best work on the planet, you two. Believe it!
for a girl
Moonnukery Constance Fleming
Donald Rumsfeld Strangler Fleming
* Crenshaw the Mountain Man Fleming
* The Limey Fleming
* Frnak Fleming
T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII Fleming
Richard Cheney Fleming. (Evildoers tremble at the very sound of his name.)
Jabba the Fleming
Cobra Commander Flemming
Stringfellow Hawke Flemming
(not sure why my original post did not show up…)
Thor is man’s name. Wait lemme check… Yep. All man.
Curling? And ice hockey? Like Francois Jacques?
And Basil is a great name. From the Greek, meaning “Kingly”. http://goo.gl/6VZT
Ian, if you want to raise a spy … or author.
Alexander, to raise a real Nobel Prize winning biologist.
Victor, for a film director.
Sandford, for one who can change time.
Art, for a game-show host.
Richard, for a Naval office and Medal of Honor recipient.
Unless you need a girl’s name;
Williamina, to raise an astronomer.
Rhonda, for an actress.
Peggy, for an Olympic skater.
Sharona, for a single-mom nurse who cares for an OCD detective.
Okay, maybe that last one’s not such a good idea.
I still like Basil, though.
For a minute, I thought spacemonkey was gonna scratch himself (from the list! mind you)
Has anyone suggested Trogdor yet?
Daily Kos Fleming
I just assumed it would be Barack Hussein Fleming…
And, you can’t go wrong with a son named Sue!
Basil, those are some great names. But I’d like to modify one:
Victor Borge Flemming (great comedian AND pianist – we’ve heard SarahK sing, but is Frank musical? Most engineers are…)
Back in the day when I ran a blog, we had an internet poll to finalize the first-born’s name. He was 10 votes from being “Huck” and a few more away from being “Elvis”. You should set up a poll.
My 2 year old is named Daelin Rourke. He constantly beats up his older siblings, is constantly covered in blood and other battle wounds (You don’t want to see the loser) and is all around the bully in the nursery at church. Never cries when hurt!
Damn Cat Fleming
Spud Fleming, Kal-El Fleming, Bad2thuh Bone Fleming, Stewie Fleming, Manzilla Fleming, Fang Fleming, Fredo Fleming, Farouq Fleming, Ferris Bueller Fleming, Science! Fleming, Gargamel Fleming
How about some good strong Biblical names: Mephibosheth Fleming, Methuselah Fleming, Nabal Fleming, Phinehas J. Fleming, Nebuchadnezzer Fleming, Pharaoh Fleming, Zerubbabel Fleming, Zebub Fleming
OK, Those were all boys’ names, now let’s try on some girls’ names: Fiona Fleming, Farrah Fleming, Fifi Fleming, Fawn Fleming, FoxFire Fleming, FireFox Fleming
Wendy Angela Moira Fleming, Diva Fleming, Natasha Fleming, Na’vi Fleming, Pandora Fleming, Xena Fleming, Zelda Fleming, Valerie Valkyrie Fleming, Flayva Fleming
Jimmy – Boom-Boom? Why not just name her Stripper and be done with it? Come on, man, be serious.
Anyway, I can see that my earlier suggestions of Persimmon or Cougar or Thursday are not even in the same league as everyone else. How did you get so many evil geniuses to congregate all in one place?
El Guapo is teh awesome.
Also Phlegm Fleming is so wrong, it’s right.
My Sinus Is Full Of Flemming
Pink Flemming O
Flemming, James Flemming
Frank (if it’s a girl)
Hey Pull My Flemming
Sympatico
Jumpstart Flemming

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O FLEMMING!
-Rainbow
-Sunshine
-Harmony
-Moonbeam
-Maryjane
-Daydream
-Sunflower
All very cool names.
He is something to help you with baby names: Very useful.
G Fresh #25 owns it. Great name.
I was thinking more in the line of Thaddeus Cornbuckle Flemming.
Well, I didn’t think i’d weigh in on this, but now I’m on a mission. You cannot name your kid anything but “Ultimate Flemming.” That name is so good I might actually be able to sue you for not using it.
A serious moment:
I gotta admit I didn’t read many of the comments, but as somebody who was given a “special” name at birth, I want to appeal to you, please, PLEASE give your kid a normal first name, with normal spelling. He or she is a human being, not a fashion statement, not a political statement. If you have some obscene urge to give ridiculous names with ridiculous nonstandard spellings, get another dog.
Now that I have that off my chest, may I suggest the following:
Manhattan Project Fleming
Alamagordo Fleming
Fusion Bomb Fleming
Tranquility Base Fleming
Nukem Crispy Fleming
Cough Cough Fleming
Wilhelm Kaiser Fleming
Rommel Fox Fleming
Joseph Stilwell Fleming
Reagan Rumsfeld Fleming
Tennesee Worthy Fleming
Chevrolet Fleming
Fido Fleming
(high praise to the first one who names the movie from which I got those)
Rico Suave Fleming
Stone Cold Fleming
Disco Inferno Fleming
Lethal Johnny Fleming
Exactly…
Cough Cough Fleming! This stuff is gold! How will you decide? You guys are going to have to have more kids so you can use some of the best ones.
Okay, here are my suggestions:
Festus Fleming
D’Artagnan Fleming
Marshall Dillion Fleming
Love Gunn Fleming
Sharmonica Fleming
Serenity Ambrosia Moonbow Fleming
but for realsies, I would like to see Apolo Ohno Fleming.
Mmmm, Apolo Ohno… Oh sorry. What were we talking about?

The bible names got me thinking.
If it’s a boy: Belshazzar
If it’s a girl: Jael [pronounced jay-El]
Jael may not be the coolest name but she did kill Sisera with a tent peg through the head while he was sleeping. Sisera was the opposing army leader.
Well…..I Named my son Justice….
I think Maximus is a good one …cause you can be creative with the middle name…… or you can never go wrong by using the middle name “the terrible”, unless of course they have the first name Frank…. I mean really…”Frank the Terrible Fleming” not all that intimidating…..
My father’s middle name was Thorwald, which means he who is protected by Thor.
Really. Great name isn’t it!
We were planning to use “Helsinki” for a girl baby and Wojciech Fibak for a boy (my husband is a tennis fan.)
Since we ended up adopted kids who already were named, these are available. If you don’t like them, how about “Terminator”?
I’ve always liked:
Rimshot
Feedback
Boy= Cheney Rove Fleming
Girl= Sarah Michelle Fleming
Easy as Pie
Musashi
Oysters Rocket Fleming
Zom B. Fleming
Moose Gunner Fleming
Wolverine Fleming…uh, duh.
And, coming in close at second, Nathan Christopher Fleming (aka Cable-ish Fleming)
How about Colt Flemming, as in Colt 1911A1.
Tyrannosaurus Flemming
Leonidas Flemming
Darth Flemming
Ulysses S. Flemming
For a girl
Margaret Thatcher Flemming
Moon Fleming
It sounds like a hippie, but it’s really a Nuke the Moon reference
Ok. I’ve been thinking about this all day:
Cujo Fleming.
Awesome.
Name your child President Fleming. Then if anyone ever says to him/her “Who died and made YOU president?” he/she can say “I was BORN President!”
Whatever you choose, make sure it passes the Kindergarten Teacher Pronunciation Test. Show the written name to a Kindergarten teacher. If the teacher can pronounce the name correctly on the first try, the name passes and is fit to bestow upon a kid.
Kayla: passes
Chaleighe’: fails (BTW this is a real name of a girl who was once in my mom’s Kindergarten class; the apostrophe is my attempt at an acute accent on the final e)
Kayzleane: fails (in case you’re interested it rhymes with “paisley Ann”)
Bryton: passes
Hai-dane: fails
Boy or girl name
Starbuck Fleming
Hedschott Fleming.
Wolfgang works too. Or Maximillian.
. . . or Firestorm.
Or how about Maelstrom Awesome Fleming? I’m kinda digging on the violent natural event names. Or perhaps . . . Epic Fleming. Firestorm, Maelstrom, or Epic could be boy/girl, so you won’t have to worry!
That’s good, Dohtimes, but the great battleship was sunk. I wouldn’t name my son after a ship that sunk.
I like Spacemonkey’s Stonecold Hattrick Fleming. Excellent.
I didn’t see it listed previously… but the ideal name will most assuredly be found somewhere in here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFHlJ2voJHY
I’m partial to “Punch Rockgroin Fleming.”
I am bookmarking this for when I start having kids.
Carnivore or Predator either one can be preceded by furious.
Keep it simple, Frank…
Death Flemming
‘nuf said!
See also: Vendetta.
Harry Callahan Fleming
John Rambo Fleming
Auric Goldfinger Fleming “Do yo expect me to vote for healthcare?” : No, democrat congressman, I expect you to die.”
Jeese Ventura Fleming “You’re bleeding. ” Too msny hippies to face punch. I ain’t got time to bleed.”
Roundhouse-Kick-To-The-Face Fleming
If that’s too long…
Chuck Norris Fleming
How about Poindexter Falcon Flemming! Constant abuse during the formative years builds character…
First! Fleming
Congratulations Frank and Sarah. So when was the last time an IMAO post had over 100 comments? I think it was some Ron Paul troll catcher several years ago! Therefore:
Ron Paul Flemming
Ron Paul Fleming is good. Better than my Idea:
Spawn of Flemming
Pain! I Predict Pain! Kee-I! Hi-Ya! SLAP! Judo Submission-hold Mission Accomplished Fleming.
All tres important people have mega-long names.
Congratulations!
What about Moon Nuke Flemming?
If the kid is a real looker and takes after Dad, may I suggest:
Admiral Ackbar Fleming
I just finished watching the pilot for “Justified” on FX. I’m liking the name Raylan Givens, all of a sudden. Raylan Givens Fleming has a nice ring to it…
#20 & #43 for teh funny
I would suggest Moxie Crimefighter Fleming, but Penn Jillette already beat ya to it.
Gwynneth Paltrow has Apple, howzabout Orange Fleming? “Orange ya glad s/he’s a Fleming?”
American Idol Fleming?
Precious Fleming?
Sarah Francis Fleming for a girl?
Twitter Fleming?
Hellbender Fleming?
Patriot Fleming!
Zohan? I didn’t see the movie, but “Don’t Mess With The Zohan Fleming” would just be too cool.
I don’t think I can top “Fred Thompson Fleming” -cause that’s just full of Awesome sauce. You could try to pack it too many names like Frank Thompson Bauer Norris Flemming, but that just seems unecessarily cruel.
How about:
Boy’s name: Keyser Soze Fleming
Girl’s name: Luna Nagasaki Fleming
Watch the MST3k version of Space Mutiny; all your naming questions will be answered.

One day the kid will be old enough to read all these suggestions and I would like to be the first to say hello there Porkchop, we’ve been reading about you for years.
It has to be FrnakJr.
I feel sorry for her if you have a girl.
The F stands for “First!”?
How the author’s actual name, Ian Lancaster Fleming?
Zoe Buttercup Fleming. That is all.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Fleming is too long, but Anya is a nice Russian name meaning “gracious”. Anya has been moderately popular in the US too given over 800 times in 2009.
