Question for the BoSox fans

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

Trying to get my boyfriend off of the name Trot, by using Red Sox greats with names I like.


So here's my question, would you, as a BoSox fan, ever name your son after Wade Anthony Boggs? I'm not asking if you like the name Wade, keep in mind if you don't that it's a hell of a lot better than Trot.

My reasoning, if you're a Sox fan, but don't know why I might NOT use this name is because he signed to the Yankees when he was a free agent in 1992. BUT he did request to be traded in July of 1997.

He's considered a Red Sox Hall of Famer, I'm pretty sure in his HoF picture he's wearing a Red Sox cap, but his golden glove years were played in New York.

What about Nomar?

What do you mean, name your son after Wade Anthony Boggs? As in, Wade Anthony (yourlastname)?

No way.

If your husband *has* to have a little BoSox fan, why not choose a name together, and have Wade as a middle name? Or Trot as a nickname?

Personally, I think giving your child the exact same first and middle name as a baseball player is a bit obsessive. But if both you and your husband are fine with it, that's all that matters.

I meant using Wade, instead of Trot.

I think Trot would make a cute nickname for just Daddy to use. :]

I don't think it's that odd to name a child after a baseball player... people have named children after WEIRDER things (oh, and I agree, "Trot" is AWFUL).

I looked up a roster/hall of fame and here are some names I really like (*note* some are last names...):
-Beckett
-Gabe
-Julian
-Wade
-Jesse
-Jack
