Argon for a boy?

[argonmummy]

What do we think of the name Argon? I think it sounds noble but DH says he associates it with the far right!

Won’t he be a bit of a lightweight?

Noble, complete and right it is, but as much as I like it, I think I would go for something with more value, with a lustrous polished finish, even precious, Aurum for a boy, Argenta for a girl. I like the foreign sound of it.

Is he a dragon? Or a noble Gas?

@BingoLingFucker

It’s noble alright.

Oh, get you.

If you’re going for a gassy theme, how about

Argon Uranus?

He could be a gas giant of a man.

Its a bit inert

He’d never become a High Court Judge with a name like Argon, but he might become a welder 👨‍🏭!

I read that as Argos.

@DropYourSword

I thought “washing machines live longer with Argon”?!

Me too

I've never heard a teacher say anything bad about Neon. So bright and odourless; what's not to love?

Omg no just no

Why all the scrambling to have a name that no one else (of sane mind) would call their child.
Just why?!

It is a GAS not a name

Oh goodness. Don't mind me, I missed the joke.

This. It's not a proper name.

Far less common than Oxygen or Nitrogen.

Isn't it 'Calgon' that helps washing machines live longer? Also a good name option

What about Xenon. I think Argon is too mainstream

@ErrolTheDragon high flier...helium 🤣🤣

No OP. Just no.

Dreadful.

@coatilove

No OP. Just no.

Presumably you mean NO? That's a bit radical.

It’s a gas. Your kid will be called “Fart”.

I am happy to be corrected but I believe fart is a good Shakesperean word. That’s something, isn’t it?

I think I would just call my gassy child Jumping Jack Flash and be done with it. (Nickname JJ )

In theory i prefer Unennium, likely to be a very unstable person though.

Although joking aside I worked with someone called xenon, his older sister was called Jessica so I'm not sure if they hit their heads in between?!

And to add this was 16 years ago, so even more strange!

Well if we're going there then Einsteinium works too
