Imagine your prospective political leader wearing a Scoutmaster's hat. If it looks right on him, he's the wrong man for the job.

It is 100% effective.

Or you could use the When Harry Met Sally test. You have to imagine a women screaming "Ooooohhh [the name]!! Ride me big, [the name]!!!

If it doesn't sound right, then dump the name.

It's a bit like the Scoutmaster test for political leaders.


that's a good test, but what if the kid ends up gay?

just don't give him a girl's name.

I always wonder why people give boys girls names. I just heard on the news of a guy named tracy. Jamie is too close to a girls name as well.

Naw, the dumbest name of all is the girls name Madison. It's dumb for two reasons:

1. It's from a movie: Splash. Before Splash came out, Madison was not a girls name. (In the movie, Darryl Hannah takes the name of Madison because she's standing on Madison Ave.)

2. It means Son of a soldier.

McGrady?

But I agree with you, giving boys a name that's typical a girl's name is cruel.

Also, names like "LaDainian", "LeCharles" et cetera are horrible.

Cool, 7th kid? Wow..

this is a sign. When I played hockey, my number was 7, always. To this date, when I have to pick a number, I always pick 7... so name him Pekka.

I suppose the shudder comes from the Welsh legends. I got the name from Stevie Nicks. I got Nialle from the old Irish Highking from St. Patrick's time (an ancestor).
