Name one thing your kid(s) have to like or you will disown them

Art in some way (music, painting, performances, etc.)

I'm sure Dingy has a list of demands, including Top Gun, Springsteen, football, science, etc.
 
if I ever had a kid, first it will probably be a gay boy, and second, he better like every fukcing thing I tell him to like since I will constantly remind him of how he's a mistake and cost me the possibility of owning an Alfa Romeo or a social life.

Eh, you can borrow baby unicorn and we won't charge you an Alfa Romeo.
 
My girls only have to like those things that make them happy. I realize the topic is meant to be in jest, but I don't expect or need them to like the same things I like. As it turns out, they tend to like many of the same things I do anyway because I'm not an absentee father. They love sports (football, hockey and baseball), they love UCF, they love music, they love art, etc. I think it's been proven that if you try to force something onto a child that they will naturally rebel and choose the opposite.

That's racist.
 
So you call it a unicorn because it is fictitious? Or is it because it's mythical and you don't know the origin? I'm confused.

Because it will be something magical, and because unicorns are adorable. Actually because I was tired of the gender question so I started replying with "it's a unicorn" and that stuck.

Irritating. "Do you have any names picked out?" Eventually effer and I started cycling through the worst names that we could think of instead of saying no. People eventually got the hint that we were not going to release the name before hand.

When a friend tells us a prospective name for an upcoming child, I instinctively try to think of the worst way to make fun of it so they reconsider. Them: "We are thinking about Jameson.", Me: "Like the whiskey?". Maybe not the best example but we had head everything from that to someone's mom dating a guy that stabbed someone with the same name (not really that). Not telling anyone the names we had chosen immediately removed this happening to us and cause us to change or reconsider the name.

It's either a gay boy or a lesbian girl. Regardless, it won't have a soul and will be allergic to everything. I'm predicting this. We'll check a year from now.
 
They better like me or I am cutting them off. I don't care if they are 5 and can't get a job yet, they are on their own.

Baby names make sure you do the following:
- does it work well with "Now on the mainstage is "
- Can you switch one letter and make it sound like a bodily action? like "His name is bart and he likes to "
- Is it douchey like it belongs in a soap opera or in your case, a telenovella? This is my son Rock Abbington
- Is it from this century or are you going on hipster family and wrapping his butt in potato sacks and only using organic butt cream like This is my son Jedidiah Ignatious Pepperbottom.
- Is it a name for a human and not a kitchen appliance. This is my daughter Kuerig. She likes to be called Kerry.

Once you have done that, run it by Jets and if he laughs for 20 minutes, come up with another one.

Go ahead and give your child a "normal" name. Nobody has a "normal" name anymore, so you'll be bucking the trend. My boys' classes are filled with uniquely named children. It's as if the Mikes, Toms, Bills, Jennys, Kathys, Elizabeths, etc. have all gone away. Nobody has those names any more. They all have special snowflake names.

To add to that, we also looked at:
- Will their initials spell anything out like A.S.S.?
- Will they get a job with this name (or middle name)?
- Does it rhyme with any word for genitals?
- Can my Peruvian relatives pronounce it so it doesn't sound stupid?
 
If I ever have a kid, I'm calling it North. Nobody will ever use that name.

More than overly unique names (I'm not one to talk), what annoys me are the "normal" names with insane spellings so it takes you a while to figure out they were trying to spell "Ashley" without any vowels.
 
Just name her Porsche so she won't have to change her name when she begins her pole dancing lessons.

You mean like Karen but spelled Caaryn (saw that one) or Brian spelled Bryn or the douchey version of Tom - > Thom da fuq you need the H for? You bringing it along for extra douchiness?

I had a friend who did that, and it's actually very, very effective at saving the kid a lifetime of teasing.

... I will constantly remind him of how he's a mistake and cost me the possibility of owning an Alfa Romeo or a social life.
But there's just gotta be an Arna out there with your name on it!

GTV 6 then?

Some Americans don't just seem to have an air of exclusivity about them when it comes to cars ... some actually want a car that is expensive to maintain, a whole new level of exclusivity. Kinda like how some Harley owners scoff at the new generation of owners, especially since Harley's have improved in quality, while they were driving them back when they weren't nearly as reliable.
