names drive me nutty - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tibbs · 05-08-2005, 07:51 PM

I'm writing one of those GI fanfics where their kids get stranded on the island. Professor and Ginger are married and have two girls, and Gilligan and Mary Ann are married and have one boy, one girl. Also, the Howells have two grandsons. Skipper's gonna have a relative in there somewhere, I just haven't thought up he/she yet. Okay, reason of this post is that I HAVE A HUGE DILEMMA!

I can't think up names for these kids!

I know their names should be popular from the 60s-70s era, but I have no idea what Ginger and the Professor would likely name their kids. And Mary Ann would probably name her kids something old fashioned. I am so not good at thinking up good names because there are millions of them out there!

So, if any of you have any suggestions, tell me ASAP, I'm desparate!

Céline · 05-08-2005, 11:48 PM

The pro+ G's:Amber and Samantha
G + MA's:Jonathan and Megan
Howell's grand sons:Randall and Preston
The Skipper's nephew:Bill

Céline · 05-09-2005, 01:12 PM

Another suggestion:

Ginger and the professor:Penelope and Roxanne

Mary Ann and Gilligan:Gilbert and Amy

The Howell's grand-sons:Andrew and Percival

Skipper's nephew:Patrick

Ginger would probably want one of her kids named "Star". That's a given I think.

Thanks for the ideas!

Ok I have outlined the characters along with their names, and I liked your ideas so here are the names:

Proffy/Ginger's kids
Amber Hinkly
Samantha Hinkly

Gilligan/Mary Ann's Kids
Jonathan "Jon" Gilligan
Megan "Meg" Gilligan

Howells' grandsons:
Randall Howell
Andrew Howell

Skipper's grandnephew
Bill Grumby

Thanks Celine for those names!

And Sterling Holobyte, I did agree with you on "Star", but I was also liking Amber real well, so I did use Star as her middle name which will be used a couple times in my fanfic, you'll see why if you ever read it.

Thanks guys!

Yeah Celine those are good names.

Céline · 05-09-2005, 07:03 PM

Thanks!Those were the names I would use if I ever do a fanfic,you're welcome to use them.It's not hard for me to find names(I already have other ideas) it's more on my writing that I got to work on.Can't wait to read your story

Glad to help

Tibbs · 05-14-2005, 09:45 PM

Yay Progress Report! (no not those little papers you get signed for school)
Just so you don't get the idea that I'm completely abandoning this fic, I'll tell ya how its coming so far:
I've got the kids' names, their personalities, etc. Plus what they're going to look like. (Now, the big, long, drawn out sigh

) That's all I have...(I know I know, I'll get on it!

) But yeah, its not that this fic is going to be hard to write, I just don't know how they're going to end up on the island. I don't wanna use the boat thing cuz 1.) Other people have already had that idea, and 2.) I seriously doubt any of these kids would know how to drive a boat themselves.

Yet I really don't see how else they'd get on that doggone island!

I'm so befuddled with this, I keep running into these dilemmas!

So, if any of you people have any ideas, please help me, the sooner I figure this out, the sooner I can start writing this thing!

In the meantime, while waiting for a response, I'll be writing *trying* to write some of this story without the first part, which should be a challenge.

The kids go on vacation in Hawaii with their parents.They are kidnapped by thieve who bring them to a strange house by boat.The children manage to free themselves but,they have to take the boat to escape their kidnappers but,a storm begins and they end up on a deserted island

Thanks!It could be a reunion for the castaways also

Good names. Can't wait to see what their kids turn out like! Hmm... what they should look like... Eee.. I don't know. Little Gilligan would be just ADORABLE! Or it would be sooooo funny to see one of Ginger and Roys' kids to raddle off the periodic table of elements at age 5! Meanwhile, the other one is performing "There's No Buisness Like ShowBuisness" I really don't know what those kids would be like. I don't think any of them would be mean or snotty... DON'T MAKE THEM MEAN OR SNOTTY! (Please

)
But, yeah, I'm looking forward to the story, sounds SWELL (favorite word right there!)(I'm so wierd) I'll love anything that pairs up Ginger and Roy!
