2. I always planned on naming my kid after Eugene Debs
but not many people seem to like the name Eugene... go figure.

3. I have no idea on that becoming common
but I know a few fourth and fifth graders named Hillary and Chelsea which is right around the time of Clinton's election.

4. I am going to name one of mine.
Maybe there will be 600,000 Howard B.D. Whatever's someday to run for President.

6. No kids planned, but that gives me an idea. I'll name my car Howard.
It's a great car, super dependable, economical, classy but not flashy.

9. but you would miss out on the joy
as the little tyke first peddles without training wheels of yelling "build the jomentum... build up your joementum"... then again... one might actually want one's child to have enough speed to not tip over on the bike.

10. Too late.
They've got names already. I don't think my son would enjoy switching to "Howard," neither would my daughter. Maybe she'd like to be Deana or Deanee?

24. Any particular reason you decided to take me up on it? Is there something
in particular in my post you find hateful enough to warrant such a thing?

22. I like to skate on the edge with my humor. I sometimes get bored
discussing politics on this board ad infinitum, so I decide to release my inner twisted smart-ass child every now and then.

18. Dean perhaps, but Howard... Not so sure on that one...
;) My husbands middle name is Dean also so??

I may consider Howard though upon further reflection. I have wanted to have his child, does that count? :P KIDDINK !!!

28. Probably not a good move
What if you had named your kid after former Oregon Governor and Democratic hero Neil Goldshmidt? He recently admitted to a multi-year affair with a 14 year old girl while he was in office as the Portland mayor before he became Governor.

There is no such thing as safety in hero worship. Many we admire politically turn out to be total creeps/crooks in the end.

Sorry to be a downer, but it's just the way of the world.

But then again, Howard is a nice name. Let's hope that Mr. Dean doesn't sully it - probably won't.

29. No. Great guy, dippy name.
Whenever I think of the name "Howard", I think "the Duck". That kind of dates me, doesn't it?

31. I named my computer Howarth
bought used off ebay - the sticker on the side says Howarth 215 #21

Using google I was able to figure out that he came from Howarth Hall at the University of Puget Sound - right next to the office of fellowships.
