My Daughter and Son-in-law, named my first grandson, Thorne.

Not a bad name but what is wrong with the old standbys such a James, William, Joe, David etc.?

Why do they all have to sound like characters on some soap opera?

Hey I have an 'old standby' name of Virginia, which kids in school thought it was great to make fun of because it can be compared to a certain body part on a woman...lemme tell ya how fun THAT was...

Absolutely nothing. In fact, my son's name is James. He was named after his dad who was also named after his dad. I call my son James because Jim belongs to my father-in-law and Jimmy is what they call my hubby. Confusing I know.

You may have answered your own question.

You'd be pleased to know we named our two sons Jason and Robert, good 'old standby' names. *S*

Many of them do seem to have an air of pretentiousness about them, don't they?
