Naming your child after Audio equipment?


My husband is a frequent Audiogoner and always mentioned if we had another child, and if it was a boy, he wanted to name him after an audio manufacturer's name he's always liked. We had settled on another name (both are original sounding names) and I've even gone so far as to say we can now use the "manufacturer's" name as a middle name. He's arguing that it doesn't "flow" right (his version of the name will cause the initials not to be very flattering).

Now that the baby is almost here (I've already told him if he arrives when he's at CES, I win) it's coming down to the wire. Keep in mind, he no longer owns this manufacturer's equipment (not my doing!).

I've read many threads and thought this would make for an interesting one. What are your opinions?

Thanx in advance.

Bag End? (sorry) Billy Bags? (sorry, again) Bottlehead? Buggtussel?
Copulare? De Hifiwinkel? Dowdy Lama? Fluance? Flying Mole?
Hadcock? Headstrong? Heatshrink? La-Z-Boy? (Hannibal) Lector? Manley? Monsoon?
Naked Truth? Nightingale (he'll really thank you for that one)? Nitty Gritty?
Panache? Pink Triangle? Porterhouse? PowerSnakes? Shun Mook? Tubesville?
Two Bald Guys? Voyd? Whatmough?

Poor kid... And there's still a lot left in the list. Anyway, best wishes to your whole family (including your newest bundle of joy - little Whatmough...
