"Our nontraditional boys' names reflect our own desire to raise sons who will be as comfortable pushing dolls in strollers as pushing trucks."I pity any baby boys born to sick scumbags like these parents.

I like Gunner myself.
I call my son “Da Vinci”. Is that wrong? : )

Megan is a well used girls name. Reagan is not a male first name. It fits my daughter perfectly and now everytime she hears Ronald Reagan’s name on the tube she gets excited. If I wanted to name my son after Reagan I would name him Ronald, but aside from Ron himself I dont particularly like that name.

Oops! Sorry, should have put my glasses back on. Thought I was responding to the Maxfield name.
Maxell... yeah, I've still got a carton of new unopened cassettes. Strange name for a boy! Then again, the current generation would probably never get the connection.

How ‘bout I say “yes”—
—though as we approach a childless 50, my wife and I have basically given up.

The whole discussion sounds like the “boy named sue”...
well, it could be worse.
When I adopted my oldest boy, his “original” name was Ovideo (a common name in Colombia). But I didn’t think he would survive seventh grade, so we changed his first name at adoption to my father’s name, and kept it as his middle name.
And yes, his new name is a biblical name.

Firstly, I didn't say anything was wrong with the name itself....although frankly, I'd never give it to my child. It was the process I found absurd: like if Tom and Lisa have a girl and name her "Tisa".
It's self-centered and lame.
Secondly, "Tug" was McGraw's nickname. His given name was "Frank".

During my residency, on the ob rotation, there was a baby born on the night shift and promptly named Daquan-Demetrius (two-part first name). What prompts people to do this?
To: Psycho_Bunny
Well Psycho, I am glad you cleared that up for us. I’m sure we will all have a better day for it. I guess that child should be happy his mothers wasn’t named Theresa. :)

Interesting list. Mostly good, though I must say, I know some people whose dog is named Gunner.
But hey, at least that shows it IS a name!

George Carlin: “Soft names make soft people.”
I’d say the parents of Brock Lesnar really took that advice to heart, and look at the result.

To: Lancey Howard
I feel sorry for any child born to parents who think the child is simply an extension of themselves. One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent is to take the responsibility and still realize that that little person is a complete and separate individual, not a pet, not a toy, and not something to be made into what you wished you had been, or into something to entertain or impress your friends. I wonder if someone has done some sort of psychological profile of parents based on how they name their children. Might be interesting (if it was more than just a quick and agenda driven thing).

Decades ago we had a few popular names that crossed genders, always felt bad for the guys:
Dana, Terry, Kim etc.
Speaking of feeling bad, years ago I worked with a guy named Lacey. Another guy called him Lacey panties. I'm sure he got this his entire life.
