[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister was telling me about some of the wacky names of kids that her daughter goes to preschool with. These included the likes of Kynslee (actual spelling), Ridge, Remington, Jazlyn, Walker.

For reference, this is at a preschool in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. It is not a lower class area by any means.[/quote]

This sounds very Texas.[/quote]

[b]It’s 1000% a minority lower class neighborhood.[/b] I’m from Texas and the last few babies my friends there have had are Daniel, Wells, Campbell, and Marjorie.  [/quote]
[b]Contrary to popular belief, wealthy WASPs (especially the influencer and public figure types) aren’t immune to giving their children stupid names.[/b] I’ve heard surnames used as first names, random words (Story, River, Journey, Navy, Chase, Rowdy), common names that are intentionally misspelled to appear more “unique”, girls given very masculine names, girls given unisex or masculine names with “feminized” spellings (Tristyn, Camryn, Elliotte). [b]I’m sure I’ve even missed some categories because there’s a lot of examples.[/b][/quote]

Yes, you did. You missed the locations, weapons/violence, and trying too hard to be preppy/frat bro categories: Austin, Boston, Phoenix, Bronx, Brooklyn, Remington, Colt, Wesson, Cutter, Blade, Brooks, Banks, Wells, Briggs, Brock, Bradford, Beau, Prescott, Tripp, Crew. Need I say more?[/quote]

Mace, Fulton, Dayton, Cheyenne, tons more.

Don't totally agree with Tripp unless it's a given name.  They only Tripp I know uses that because he's the third.[/quote]
