It used to be a common thing to do in the South 100 and 200 years ago but it's definitely died. Classy or trashy?

I'm named after a notorious general, but I go by a nickname.

Named my son after me and my dad--definitely more to honor them and keep that thread of continuity than anything to do with the war dude, though.

My first daughter will be named Hillary after "the most qualified person to be President", just hope her mom trumps the idea

There was a good chance I was going to name my future kid Donald due to it being a family name. Now...

Influence on founding of the Klan or not, the man loved black people and was one of the finest military minds in the past 200 years.

The man was a giant. Mentally, physically, all of it.

Read northern accounts of him in battle.
