    Names like Carol and Vivian were quite common boys names.
    Clive James was originally called Vivian, but was allowed to change it as a child.

    My grandmother wanted to name me Mahershal-al-Hashbaz.

    True story.

    Fortunately, my parents compromised on Daniel, which is just as Middle-Eastern but a little more easily pronounced over the phone.

    I got landed with a crap name. Cheesy in the way it was picked + wrong in the spelling which kinda blew the point of the name = CRAP!

    Not sure I would suit anything else though...

    Mine has the same fate in front of him, I called the poor sod James. I got the parental wish to be different out of the way by giving him two middle names (Arthur Ross)...essential if he is to open the batting for England.

    My (younger) sister, however is of the "different" school of naming, if her first child had been a boy, he would have been called "Felix". Uncle was not impressed and the following conversation took place with MrsD when we discovered this information.

    Me: "I can't call my nephew "Felix" that's just stupid.
    Wife:"Never mind, you'll just have to come up with a pet name for him"
    Me:"He'll already have a pet's fucking name!"

    I can't tell you how much I love my two nieces...

    Heh.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
