A brilliant man once said “ Stick to Kings and queens of England. There’s never going to be a President Catniss.”

Because they're manly and Biblical, unlike Kaden, Brayden, Cody, Colt, or other such names. Would you rather folks name their sons Mohammed?

I would imagine that "happy medium" is simply a less-common traditional name.

Going back to the 1700s the men in my family take their grandfathers name as their middle name. We havent had a single Jr as far back as I can trace

If your kid has a Y in their name that isn’t at the end, you’re a shitty parent.

Dude....4 pages and you still haven’t fixed “there”? My name may be boring, but at least I can handle basic grammar.

A friend’s daughter is now 14 and I still refer to her as Baby Girl! It started when she was about 2-3 and I asked what was the baby girl’s name. She heard me and said I am Baby Girl... so cute really.
