and find out what a guide to names is all about. Or not.

In this installment of a Guide to Names we'll cover 4 new categories of names:
• Futuristic Space Age Names
• Prehistoric (cave man style) Names
• Military, Government and Legal Title Names
• Exciting Names


Futuristic Space Age Names
These are names that you might call your son or daughter in the year 3000 when technology has allowed our species to boldly go where we probably have no business going but, you know man. And kids find them out-of-this-world too!

Zenoproteus
Cosmitron
Zinthar
Quadrax
Praxus
Orion
Nebula
Universa
Galaxia
Solaria
Andromeda
Astra
Plaeidesia
Atmosphera
Uranusia
Meteora
Comette
Spacestacey
Ozonella
Pluta
Cathodina
Quazara
Quarky
Vector

Prehistoric Names
These are names that a caveman might give his child. Raw and base sounding, they imply limited vocal sophistication with their gutteral earthy quality and every one knows kids love that kind of stuff.

Grock
Ooga
Munga
Kreegah
Mogo
Unk
Guhlug
Bork
Aboom
Ungala
Boogoo
Hock
Argo
Mumbo

Military, Government and Legal Title Names
Judge Reinhold & Marshall Mathers had the right idea but lets take it one step further. imagine the respect your child would get from his peers with a name like:

Sergeant
Corporal
Commander
Private
Officer
Councilman
Chairman
Ensign
Detective
Prosecutor
Yeoman
Prime Minister
Chief
Senator
[We advise against some of the more elaborate titles for names such as Assemblywoman or Secretary of the Treasury for obvious reasons: “Hey Ma, Ambassador to the North Korean Delegations Committee keeps hittin’ me!”]

Exciting Names
These names were inspired by Whoopee Goldberg. People are very self deprecating these days and need as much encouragement as they can get. We've included random last names to give you a sense of how they work as full appellations.

Hooray Ford
Go-Man Gomez
Here-Comes Johnson
Ooh-Look-Its Rappaport
Oboy Herschfield
Goodie Mathers
Yippee Greenberg
Hurray-For Grimes
Yummy Patterson
Oh-La-La Brookmeyer
