Naming your child after Audio equipment?

My husband is a frequent Audiogoner and always mentioned if we had another child, and if it was a boy, he wanted to name him after an audio manufacturer's name he's always liked. We had settled on another name (both are original sounding names) and I've even gone so far as to say we can now use the "manufacturer's" name as a middle name. He's arguing that it doesn't "flow" right (his version of the name will cause the initials not to be very flattering).

Now that the baby is almost here (I've already told him if he arrives when he's at CES, I win) it's coming down to the wire. Keep in mind, he no longer owns this manufacturer's equipment (not my doing!).

I've read many threads and thought this would make for an interesting one. What are your opinions?

Thanx in advance.

There must be something in the master list that would work. Let's see....

Ampzilla? Arcane? Ascend (careful w/ that spelling...)? AV123?
Bag End? (sorry) Billy Bags? (sorry, again) Bottlehead? Buggtussel?
Copulare? De Hifiwinkel? Dowdy Lama? Fluance? Flying Mole?
Hadcock? Headstrong? Heatshrink? La-Z-Boy? (Hannibal) Lector? Manley? Monsoon?
Naked Truth? Nightingale (he'll really thank you for that one)? Nitty Gritty?
Panache? Pink Triangle? Porterhouse? PowerSnakes? Shun Mook? Tubesville?
Two Bald Guys? Voyd? Whatmough?

Poor kid... And there's still a lot left in the list. Anyway, best wishes to your whole family (including your newest bundle of joy - little Whatmough...

"this from a guy who likes to be known as "Mr hosehead""

Never said I liked it - it's just that I yam what I yam: a hosehead. "Hi - I'm a HoseHead!"
Marco, you have it soooo easy...

But while we're at it, let's say "Hi" to the rest of the family. This is my wuvwey widdle wife, Dowdy Lama Lector. Here's our oldest son, La-Z-Boy Lector. And here's our oldest daughter, Manley Lector (don't say it - she'll snap you in half). There's our younger daughter, Nightingale Lector (her nickname is Oxymoron), and younger son Bottlehead Lector. And over here are the newest members of the Lector household, our twin infant sons Billy Bags and Bad End Lector (a.k.a. Two Bald Guys). And then there's me, Headstrong AssEnd Lector. Maybe that's why I gotta go by Mr HoseHead???

PS - would you like one of my HeadStrong(R) HeadBands? Lance beat me to the stretchy yellow thingies, but I still came up with my own version. I try to have the whole family wear 'em - well, at least all the kids. Yeah, so what if they're made out of duct tape and you wear them carefully wrapped around the head and (especially) over the mouth. I tell 'em that they're kinda silvery and sporty and all the trendy rage now. Don't know if they really like 'em or not 'cause the kids aren't too verbal these days...
