A little girl named Poe. I asked Poe's mom if her daughter was named after Edgar Allen and without hesitation, she said, "it's Peace on Earth."
Also: - Colby, like the cheese. - Ransom. As in held for... - |
| Scout. Not a nickname. |
| Debonair. |
| I hate that these threads always turn into light making fun of lower socio-economic status AA names. As if we're not familiar with the concept of this already...do we really need to ridicule people just to get a laugh at how black and (likely) poor they are? Come on. |

Not personally, but there was once a lady in the newspaper who was named:
Phoebe P. Peabody Bebe. Say that out-loud, fast. |
|
Bear
Scout Arden Lincoln (for a girl) (and none of these were lower SES or AA children) |
| Lumen (white parents) |
|
I first heard the name Arden when I was introduced to an adult Arden. I thought it was so weird at first but now it's growing on me and I really like it!
I think that's how it works for all names. Unfamiliar names seem odd but, once you know someone, the name becomes as common to you as John or Jane. |

Ainsley for a boy.
Ardsley for an older woman |
| Army |
| I know a Colby, too. And a Koby. |
| Torleif. They call her "T". Noone can pronounce it so they gave up and call her T |
