Anakin?

[tostaky]

yay or nay?

Love it
But not sure I could name a child it sorry
I also love Padme and Asoka as well, they are more goers but I presume Anakin is for a boy

Nay.

Oh please do. (Hi chicken)

erm. probably nay for a child. who will grow up to know that he went over to the dark side and became lord vader.

however, we're thinking about it for our new puppy!

Go for it

If you have a DD you could call her Leah.

DS middle name is Luke
DD thought seriously about Leia

There is always chewbacca

I prefer Chewbacca, but it depends on your surname

x-post Darrell, the force must be with us

no way.
for real?

only if middle name is sky and surname is Walker

Has someone offered you money to name your child Anakin? It better be a lot.

How about Jabba as a middle name?

no, no no!, i once told my brother that my dc's middle names were leia and skywalker, he believed me for a while. i was just joking.

I think SW associations aside it's a nice name

Darth is nicer.

Well.. obviously it is not my idea, but DP's...
I was just wondering if people actually made the connection with Stars Wars. i wouldnt because i have actually never seen star wars...

I was looking at national statistics though and apparently there are 63 Anakin in France... so you know, people do it... Not sure about Britain though, couldnt find stats.

I didn't make the link with SW.
I know one RL Anakin (adult friend of friend), but iirc she is not of English origin - I forget whether she is french or dutch now - french I think.

I think there were around 9 born in the UK in 2008

Was it a name before SW? I'd not be keen because of the SW back story.

I was considering Ahsoka for DD, I also like Amidala but decided to stay away as our cat is called Vader

Nay, nay and thrice nay!

Oh surely more then 9 in the UK! I know(of) two myself!

It is a nice sounding name but definitely will be completely associated with Starwars.

what about kipper minge thats a nice cleanrespectable name

But there aint no kipper minge in star ward, derrrrrr.

derrrr aye but plenty stupid bawbag names in star bores
