I suppose intermingling the makes and/or model names of automobiles is probably out of bounds also? :-)

Too bad. If ever a girl needed to marry into a new name, that one did.

"How about Madycin? It's pronounced "Madison," but for the love of God, why spell it like that?"
I'm guessing the mom who didn't really know how to spell all that well had to spell the name phonetically.
My guess is that's happening a lot now.

'I have plenty of caucasion friends who give their kids seemingly "normal" names."
And let's not forget names that are spelled "normally" but are really, really strange -- Moon Unit Zappa comes to mind.

I swam with a girl who was named Sandra Claus, and another girl named Candace (Candy) Epple. It's amazing what the hippies would do to their children.

I always liked that tradition. But, like you said, only with WASP names.

Another trend is to name girls with customarily male names supposedly to break down barriers? Noticed this trend occurring in more and more mainstream women's fiction.

I once belonged to this church that had a family with a french name. The problem was teh english pronounciation. It was spelled Bigot. The Bigot family.

"Condoleeza just sounds Southern." I thought it was Italian.
If not for our Secretary of State, we'd probably be poking fun at that name too.

On the flip side, when I hear the name "Cody" I picture some mullet-wearing redneck driving a dirty pick-up truck covered in #3 stickers.Interesting because "Cody" always makes me think of little boys. I mean, I never picture a grown man when I think of that name. I don't know why as I guess they do grown up to be men.
