Pistol is a terrible name. God, where parents give head?? That's awful and insane.

There was once a poster here who really liked Pistol. She left after or around the same time Sabrina Fair did.Can't say I care for it. Knox is cool though, but Nox is cooler.

Damn. I hate OTT violent names, I don't see how they appeal to anyone. Piss is the worst nickname I can think of right now. :/

"I hate OTT violent names"Ditto that and then all these teases come to mind:"Did your mom name you Pistol cuz you 'pissed all' over her??""Hey Pissy!""More like a starter Pistol""Are you shooting blanks?""Maybe your parents named you that because you were so ugly when you were born they wanted to shoot themselves"OK, clearly I spend too much time with kids.... hahahaha!!!

Hey, I would never say that!!! I'm just saying that there are like 5 things just off the top of my head that I can hear my assorted children family members and friends saying to a kid with such a name...

I remember on the cartoon Goof Troop Pete's daughter was named Pistol. Not saying that makes it okay or anything.

Uhm. I actually kind of like it, but I'd NEVER actually name a child that.

Silly. It's like they were trying too hard to be cool. It's on par with Rebel, another one I saw a while back.

How about Rebel Peppermint? That's a BA I found a few months ago. For a little girl, by the way.

Rebel Peppermint - that sounds like the name of a Christmas edition of nail polish

And I thought Rebel alone was bad enough for boys. Rebel Peppermint...wow. It does sound like a Christmas edition of nail polish.

Er... let's hope he can break the obvious unfortunate nickname and grow into the "born badass" vibe that his name entails....it's a boy, right?

Pistol. Holy moley. When his mother is holding him, she'll be able to honestly say, "Don't mess with me: I'm carrying a Pistol."
