My girlfriend is having a baby. True story!

With fatherhood imminent I'm doing all the things a dad-to-be should be doing such as ordering my last quiver and choosing cool names. I want something edgy without being pretentious and it's proving harder than I first thought. Plus, after going to school with ten David's, five Matthew's and four Paul's I want something original.

Tex? Taken (Matt Hoy)

Rocket? Taken (Terepai Richmond)

Ice? Well, it's taken too, by the fella in these photos. Ice Pereira-Ryan is a big unit from the Gold Coast who surfs with power and a fluency that belies his large frame, and he also has the coolest name in the lineup. Brad Nielson recently caught him mixing it up at a discretely unnamed northern reef.//STUART NETTLE
