I’m naming my 1st child Camden (though those damn bank of america commercials have really ruined it for me), but if you want a bit spunkier you could go with Moose (Milligan or Mussina), Cakes (or Kakes), or my personal favorite, ZAUN.

Obviously.

Next question?

I sorta like Moose, though.

Melmo?

Mickey (Tettleton)?

But most of us here barely have a memory of him playing.

Go with Matt, you could even get in the Baltimore Sun for being the first person to name their child after Wieters. Imagine this article after Opening Day

“…’you know, this year I think the Orioles are capable of doing something special’ , said SilverStadium, who was holding his newborn fetus named Matt, after you-know-who. "

Brady
Cesar
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke.

Can’t go wrong with Kiko.

I was gonna say Brook too. But I’d favor “Blair” more (Paul Blair.)

Other possibilities: Brady, Aubrey (depends on how you felt about him, lol), or Hansen (Ron Hansen, O’s All-Star SS from ‘58-’62).

Or if you wanna get real exotic- how about “Orsulak Sakata”? “Merv Pappas”?

I expected nothing less from this crowd. Some comments…

-ZAUN isn’t a fetal name. Are you kidding me? Maybe it would work for a pit bull. Anyway, he wasn’t an Oriole long enough for me.

I like Moose. Randy Milligan was one of my favorite O’s in the early 1990s and now that Mussina is finished with his assignment of keeping the Yanks from winning a World Series for most of the decade, he’s back in my good graces. But I should have added another factor to the list above. Ideally, it should be a player’s real name-not a nickname. This drops Moose down a notch, but it’s still a possibility.

-If we named the fetus Matt, we wouldn’t need a doctor or midwife, as he would deliver himself and then catch the placenta before s/he received a birth name and became a mere mortal.

I’m leaning towards Kiko. It’s his real name, it could be gender neutral (we’ll say the “o” at the end of his name is for “oriole,” and not to denote masculinity), and it’s sure fun to say. He was a terrible hitter-did you know he managed to get 311 ABs in 1980 despite batting .199 with an OPS of .490? He must have been a decent fielder, but he was before my time. He did play for some classic Earl Weaver teams and, I could be mistaken, but I think he may have been the last Oriole to wear #8 before Cal. Does anyone know if this is true? And can anyone add anything else about Kiko?

Some bad news, though. I talked it over with my wife last night and she has this idea stuck in her head that our son should name the fetus. Whatever. When she hears Kiko, though, I think she might change her mind. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, keep the names coming!

Good name for great, but unformed, potential.

If not for the gender-nuetral requirement, I would recommend Brother Lo

or Hoiles

or you could call it BJ for Surhoff.

Little Baby Fetus Rocky Cherry has a good ring to it

of the great radio morning show “The Junkies” named his son Eddie Murray Flaim.
