Yeah right! As if I'd alienate all my teen readers, the equivalent of "Entertainment Suicide". Let's do something that will enlighten any future mothers of my children:
Names I Don't Like And If You Have One It Doesn't Mean I Don't Like You
Shane
Jade
Chase
Austin
Zach
Tiffany
Brittany
Jared
PJ
Dylan
Cody
Taylor
Dustin
Chad
Jayden
Madison
Cooper
Colton
Ryder
Carson
Mackenzie
A total "Shane"
Bruce
Henry
Dale
Hortence
Rusty
Xzibit
Ernie
Mack
Tiny
Rudolph
Jane
Lucky
Roald
Valentine
Garfield
Lenny
Viggo
Dirk
Donald
Lance
Bingo
Raymond
Betty
Luke
Mickey
Destro
Willy
A solid "Rudolph"
The entertainment value of the above list is questionable at best, but I think all the pregnants out there may have got a kick out of it.
According to the legends of my family, I was almost called "Duncan" or "Kevin". Props to pops and mops for finding a name that fits nicely in the middle of the those two -- "Glenn" combines the allure of a "Duncan" and the commonsense of a "Kevin". Further hugs to my grandmop who suggested throwing in the extra "N" for a bit of flair, placing me alongside others with redundant
N's including hockey man Glenn Anderson, professional clown and known female Glenn Close and alien abductee, Glenn Miller.
Smee you tomorrow

really solid lists!!
I keep thinking of more to add -- I want to see more of "Lou" and "Ted"
Go watch the movie 'Shane'; you'll change your mind on what truly is a man's name.

"Hunter" was a glaring omission to an otherwise stellar list.
good one! Also, "Blane" and "Blake"
how do you feel about Mitchell? it's sort of dumb, but Mitch is pretty cool. would you give your kid a dumb name if the shortened version was good? or what if the long version is good but the short version sucks? Barb vs. Barbara. risky.
if you had a rudolph, you could call him "rood" for short.
I like "Mitchell" depending on the last name and I really like "Mitch". It's true, the short form/long form issue is noteworthy. I wouldn't mess with Barbara at all -- Barbie, Babs, Bar -- too many shit options
