I Am An Autocracy

Time to name my first child.

A few days ago, I told you that Tory Boy needs a new name.  Your suggestions are below.  If you have any more you can leave them in the comments.  It’s never too late (if you don’t believe me, wait until you’ve read them all; I’m begging you for more suggestions).

I’d better warn you that your vote, while it will be counted, may not count.  When it comes to naming babies (yes, he’s 21, but I’ve told him and I’m telling you: he will always be my baby), parental preference trumps popular vote every time. 

Thank you for your input; don’t be offended if I ignore it.

      You have the courage of your convictions – I like that :)

    Woot! Victoryous a-go-go!

    Hi! Stopping by from SWS. Didn’t like any of the choices, sorry. Have a wonderfully blessed day!

    Since, now he is a man, he does need a new name. I don’t think I liked any of the names offered. He is the love of your life, your first. And needs a totally grown up name, perhaps Troy will do. A name filled with love and light.

    What’s wrong with using the original name? It has a nice ring to it.

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 09:17 #

      He’s not a boy any more and he has political ambitions so it might come back to haunt him :)

      Plus, ‘Tory Boy’ has satirical overtones in the UK.

    I voted for Tory Man but I wish I’d seen the keep it Tory Boy…It’s nice and he’ll always be a boy at heart…Right? :)

    What’s the difference between men and boys?

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 09:19 #

      The size of their toys; Kate’s post refers :)

      • Pseu September 18, 2011 at 14:52 #

        Oh! I missed that ref. It’s an old saying in this house. :)

  8. Pseu September 17, 2011 at 18:50 #

    What about
    ‘Our fearless leader – to be’ ?

  9. nrhatch September 17, 2011 at 19:10 #

    Wow! Those are BAD. It won’t much matter which you pick . . . he’s gonna disown you and disavow all knowledge of the family if you try to tag him with any of them. :lol:

    What about a favorite character . . . Elmo? Chewbacca? Hagrid? Kanga? Roo?

    Or initials . . . MF (My first . . . oops, no, motha f’r ), FS (First Son), TIFG (Tory is Fully Grown ~ though it may get confused with TGIF), GS (Grown Son), SOL(Son of Linda . . . oops, no, Sh*t out of luck)

    Good luck

      Nancy: thank you! I didn’t want to say it.

  11. sonsothunder September 17, 2011 at 21:55 #

    Anything but Mama’s Boy…Just kidding, fun stuff. But, I forgot what the question was again.Oh yeah , now I remember, so…when are you going to post the names to choose from? lol I only saw a lot of words I couldn’t spell…I recommend,.. “Tory Story 2″
    God Bless You

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 09:22 #

      Thanks Paul. The reason you couldn’t spell them is because my readers made most of them up. They’re a fun lot, but… ;)

  12. self sagacity September 17, 2011 at 22:12 #

    Fun voting game today. I have no idea, would have to know the person to give him a real satisfactory name.

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 09:50 #

      Future political star who loves his mother :)

  13. Inspiration to Dream September 18, 2011 at 01:14 #

    Keep it the same – once a boy, always a boy at heart. He’ll be your baby forever (even when he has babies of his own) and you’ll always think of him as your boy.

    My baby is 24 and now has a baby of his own, but in my mind he’s still my little boy, my first born :-)

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 09:53 #

      I cannot argue with your logic :)

  14. betty September 18, 2011 at 04:41 #

    visiting from 6-word Saturday; I voted for Tory Man since he is now considered an adult. Seems like he has a great future ahead too; best of luck to him!

      Thank you for your kind words. There’s no link so I can’t return your visit. I do apologise.

  15. ElizOF September 18, 2011 at 08:45 #

    I hope you find the perfect name for him… :-)

    • Tilly Bud September 18, 2011 at 10:00 #

      I’ve found a few in his time… ;)
