Wow, Charles! Congradulations on, well everything.
Really great news about having a boy- you can name him either "Jason" or maybe give him "Abbadon" as a middle name- just to throw off those teachers that call you by your whole name during rollcall.
Too bad that Trek Experience went bust- you could have geeked out...
I'd seriously reccomend going to a national park- Yosemite would be my own preference- and having a nace small ceremony/honeymoon in nature's grandeur. It's incredibly beautiful there and inexpensive while not in any way being cheesy or cliche.

Do you know what's a really good name for a boy?
Liam.
It is.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I think, perhaps, maybe, you might be biased.
Actually, we're pretty much settled on Wesley at this point.
No, really. Well, that or Justin, but I'm not fully sold on that one.
See, girl names are easy. Stupidly easy. We had a dozen of them already picked out. Unfortunately we have diverging tastes on boy's names, and the list of names we both don't dislike became extremely short. The additional complication is that the middle name is going to be her father's name, Dale. What the hell goes with Dale?
There's a chance, a slim chance, that she might relent and allow him to be named Edward, as I'd prefer, but I doubt it. She's more stubborn than me.
Also, the wedding is on Saturday. We're doing a small civil ceremony in Portland.

Fuck's sake, man! WESLEY?!? You know how many "Save the ship" jokes he'll have to endure before going all nutty and going off with some creepy touchy-feely "traveler" guy?
I think Jason Liam Capps sounds just fine.
You wat else works great as a name? Agamemnon. Really- ask your wife: she'll be thrilled. "Agamemnon Capps"- just has super badass written all over it.

Whenever he tells anyone his name is Justin Capps, he'll get asked if it's OK to put it in lower-case. . .
Wesley Dale Capps? That's a guy getting the nickname "Cheese" at school, right there.
I have so far been unable to convince my wife that if we have a son, his middle name should be DeForrest. Not his first name, mind, I'm not unusually cruel (unless I want to be). Boy's names are much harder, we have a long list of girl's names.
I can't think of any boy's names I've seriously contributed to the list. Some my wife has put forward and I've vetoed:
Justin (!) Duncan ("Donuts!" was my riposte to that one) Gregor (pointed out it was the name of the actor plays Rab C. Nesbitt who she hates) Angus (I mean, really)

I'm nowhere close to tying the knot however. Man, I'm becoming a creepy old man....

Pleh... if we're gonna recommend our own names ... Alexander Capps.
Angus. Well unless you're Scottish it's hard to pull off. Hell even MacGyver never used it and look how cool he was. He wouldn't need to kick Chuck Norris's ass, he'd just make a bomb out of a pumpkin, zippo lighter, silly putty, and a toothbrush.

The thing about Wesley... I don't expect any of his peers to know what TNG is, no less the young mister Crusher.

We do, but she's from Portland, and the various parents live in the area, so we figured it'd be more sane to do the ceremony down there, so they don't have to travel far.

This is actually another one of my faves, but she also vetoed it. Arg!

I think you should point out just how close that is to Wensleydale, like Lee says.
What about William? Still trek-y. Or there's James (adding to the self refferencial list), Leonard, Pavel (see the theme here?). Edward is a good name - lots of non-derrogatory nicknames, and Edward Dale Capps? Kinda works.
Thinking about it, it's such a huge decision. As long as you don't call him Dwane, or Wayne or something chavvy, the kid will be fine, I'm sure. Even Wesley - no self respecting chav would be called Wesley, so you're fine there.

BTW, Wensleydale is not a well-known cheese in the US. You might be able to find it in the artisan cheese section, but it's most likely not something elementary or high schoolers would know about.
