Okay here is how i look at it. i love the name lukas. its great. but if you think about it he will be called both lukas and luke. luke short for lukas. so i would have to go with lukas.

Luke sounds great -very Greek! Lukas is my runner up.
Literary note. In the book “The Godfather” a psychopathic killer who long worked for the Don had the name “Luca Brasi.” A bear of a man who was somewhat of a sympathic figure, but a sicko assassin inside. Luca was put down by the Don’s enemy, Sollozzo. Eventually Michael got Sollozzo…
……OK, OK, I’ll stop.

Hmm how do we break this down.
Lukas = Yo Luc move you’re ass. Hey Luky-ass shut you’re hole. Might as well just save his friends the trouble and name him Assy McGee – http://www.adultswim.com/shows/assymcgee/index.html. If you go with Lukas I’m buying him some scotch for his first birthday that way when he is 12 it will have aged nicely and should be quite smooth.
As for Luke I see no concerns. Other than all the Luke’s i’ve ever known have been kind of rebellious.

I just remembered that Luke is the name of Pittsburgh’s Mayor. No wonder I have an aversion to these names.

Only you, Norm. besides, since you so readily offered up the insults, i’m sure you can give him some return fire just as easily.
The reason for Luke/Lukas: Luke is the name of one of the finest players i’ve coached. i also had the privilege of catechizing him in His home just months before He entered the Church Triumphant after battling leukemia. An incredible kid.

Well I think if it will be a girl, you should stick with the LU theme and name her after me. 🙂 But between the two, when I hear Lukas, I think cute. When I hear Luke I think strong. Either way, I’m sure if he is a boy, he will be both strong and cute. He/she will be a Huelsman nonetheless. Maybe I should take a poll. I’m still at the seminary.

What if you didn’t name the kid, and waited until they were old enough to name themselves. I mean, it’s worked before. Look at Frankenstein from Big Daddy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoaArs2-Ong

great idea! and then we could make it our highest priority to manipulate and brain-wash the child to favor a certain name to the end that he/she chooses it. a psychological experiment! anything for science. in the meantime he could be called BarNicholas or she could be called BarJoy.

lol How about He-unit #2 or She-unit #1

I was hopeful that you would name the little one sunflash or moonbeam or star child or something… or maybe tiger lily, or cornflake, or pisa pie. Then they would have no choice, but to change their name when they got older. If I knew someone named Moonbeam I would giggle on the inside everytime i said their name. hehe
Joy 10:46 am on March 24, 2009 Permalink
I totally can’t wait until the rest of ya start having kids. However, Carl I do like Tiger Lily..
Norm 11:07 am on March 24, 2009 Permalink
Carl I wish that I could change my name every-time I posted a comment too. Kind of like naming yourself, sunflash.
I wouldn’t think letting a child name them self would work very well. I also don’t think it would be very scientific. There would be no control.
If you are really looking for strong names (so your kid will be head strong and rebellious, see Joy I am thinking of yinz) then go with names of generals, like “Robert E. Lee Martin Huelsman.” Or how about “Hitler Aldof Huels” (if we went that rout we should abbreviate the last name so we don’t get associated with it when your child is older). Personally I like “Jesus Hussein Get’er Dun Huelsman.”

How ’bout “SpongeBob Martin Huelsman”
Hippy Lover 2:53 pm on March 24, 2009 Permalink
@norm what about Barack Hussein Huelsman. It’s got a nice ring to it.
@dad I would highly advise against that name. I would never give birthday presents or Christmas presents to it.
