There’s a reason it’s not in the top 100.
Family Rule #6: No matter what, we will never, ever name any of our babies “Raptor.” Not even as a middle name. Not even as a “secret middle name.”
This shouldn’t even have to be a family rule. Common sense should completely disqualify “Raptor” as a potential baby name. But someone in this family needs to have everything spelled out.
(However, I would be willing to make an exception to this family rule if we can get BYU to agree that this baby will be appointed head football coach in the tradition of LaVell and Bronco.)

How about Magnus? I heard this name on the radio this morning:

Hey that’s awesome!
And for the record, I’d much rather have a Magnus. Magnus is the name of the Miss Honey’s dad in Matilda. Therefore, it is much awesomer than Raptor.!
It’s also a name used by Magneto in the X-Men comics.
When Kell and I were still dating we heard the name Heman (heemen is how it was pronounced)for a name. I convinced her to promise to let us use that for a middle name for one of our kids. I did that by not properly pronouncing it; I later confessed that it would be pronounced He-Man. I have the feeling that I’m going to find out the hard way that my wife is not someone who keeps promises…
Lol. If you do have a son named Heman, I am so getting you a baby codpiece for him to wear over his diaper. Also, you will officially be the most persuasive person I’ve ever known if you pull that off.
