Subject: RE: BS: Names that have gone out of style...
The thing I can't figure is, what happened to the name George? One of the Beatles was a George, for gosh sakes, and that's almost the last time the name was given any respect. It seems to be inconceivable for anyone to name their son George anymore. Then you've got that stupid George of the Jungle, and Curious George, for God's sake. Why? Why pick on a perfectly good name that was popular for about the last 1,000 years or more of European civilization and turn it into a label for nerds and monkeys?

Well, today you know what a boy's name will be? Anything that used to be a surname. Try Tyler, Harper, Tanner, Hunter, Carver, Taylor, Archer, just pick your favorite surname and make it his first name....but DON'T call him "George"!!!!
