Have you ever had the sinking realisation. The sinking realisation that your mother named you after a cyborg superhero with a stupid insectoid helmet that rides a motorbike?

It all adds up. The character was considered a teenage heart-throb right around the time my mother was a young impressionable teen.

And look at this foofy sequence it is

That. Cracks me the fuck up.

It could be worse - I knew two girls once, both named after Beatrix Potter characters.

At least that's got culture of a sort

good thing you dont know my son's name then :)

[sor_eye_ah]

Names like 'Peter' Can be vaguely forgiven . . .

Though if you call him Benjamin Bunny - That's just wrong. It provokes all kinds of wrong images that involve furry parents with furry kids doing furry *shudder* things.

But can you imagine me doing those foofy transforming into superhero handgestures?

[milli]

Yup! hahahaha.

Doh!

[kraant]

Fine, but I'm not doing it unless I get cool kickarse superhero powers out of it!

ps. Cool tattoo!

Allan and Janey now want to buy this for you for your birthday. :P

[kraant]

Fine, as long as they have to sit and watch it with me the entire way through without the benefit of mood altering drugs. :p

without the benefit of mood altering drugs.

without!, you complete sadist!

I used to think mine came from the popularity of the name at the time because of the series Bewitched. It was terrible to think i was indirectly named after that obsequious, snivelling doormat of a character (no matter how appropriate it might be). Just recently i found out from my mum that i was actually named after an actor in some noir detective series at the time.

Now if i could just remember his last name (or to ask my mum again) i could look him up.
