I’m pregnant with my second child and I know this is an icky topic but I’d love your creative input if you’re willing to participate. My kids are going to be called Apollo and Vesper. I’m aware that they’re the names of the main antagonist and the main character in Casino Royale. This wasn’t intentional but doesn’t bother me either. <br><br>The serial killer question came up recently because my partner saw a meme about it, and I’m curious to know what you would name your kid if you were a serial killer, and what/who would inspire the name. I’d love to see your creative suggestions, as well as the reasons for your choice.<br><br>For eg. I read somewhere that if I wanted a kid that would be a murderer, I should call him Dexter (because of the TV character) and tell him it was after Dexter Gordon. <br><br>What would you name your kid and why?<br><br>Quick update: I’ve had tonnes of great suggestions but some quick stand outs are:<br><br>* Lucifer if you think you’re God<br>* Apollo if you like bathing in the blood of your victims<br>* Shiloh if you like killing at random<br>* Amelia if you like to kill children<br>* Abel if you kill with your bare hands<br>* Isis if you kill to get your own way<br>* Vesper if you like killing to the sound of your own voice<br>* Dexter if you’re a complete psycho<br>* Bellona if you kill for sport<br>* Eric and Dylan if you like to kill at school (credit to u/LaughingAtTheNormies)<br>* Lilith if you kill babies (credit to u/LaughingAtTheNormies)<br><br>Thank you for all of these, please keep 'em coming. My morning coffee needed a good chuckle.<br><br>Final update: wow! Thanks guys you’ve all given me a great laugh and lots to think about. My kid is called Shiloh.
