As a child of the seventies I was given one of these hideous names. Thanks.
I have one, too, but I was a child of the sixties!
+1, but born in the 80's-- I was always the only one in my class, which seems to be pretty desirable on this board....

Chip-
Not sure what its a nickname for, but just makes me think of a balding, obnoxious guy in chinos.
Tyler - just rednecky and annoying
Jack - always an obnoxious little brat

Really trying hard names.
Not just Biblical, Old Testament. John, Michael, and Mary are Biblical also, but I don't see them there. Max doesn't fit though. But it sounds Jewish, so I guess that gets it onto the list.

What's wrong with these?
I don't like Owen because it's just dumb. It's a dumb name.
I don't like George, Henry or Beatrice because they are trying too hard to sound British or something, I don't know. Especially Beatrice.
Just my opinion.
You sound dumb. (Just my opinion)

Step away from the Chad...terrible name. And likewise for Sherman, please don't do this to your kid.
I'm sorry, PP, your opposition to this name requires me to double-down and use it now, boy or girl.
Nooooo! Oh the humanity! What about the children? What about the children?! Lol!

Of the German surnames I can think of (and I have quite a few in my family tree in addition to the one I bear), Vaughn sounds fine.
And I like Jason. How's that for a name that reeks of the 70s/80s?
I was pretty stuck on Vaughn, but my husband already vetoed it, citing the odd sound with our last name. I still like it, but since I basically only allow my husband veto power in naming, I will allow it.
I kind of like Jason, too - but our last name ends in the -on sound, and that also sounds strange.
Maybe we'll go with Cal - of course, I have to get pregnant again, which apparently is not going to be as easy as we thought. Damn secondary infertility ;P

Is the one from the NFL gay? That Ocho-cinco dude? Just asking...
The other name I can't get out of my head as an option is Neil/Neal. I don't think my husband was OK with this OR Chad, so it is unlikely that my kids will ever have these names.
He's a wife beater. I don't know about his sexual preference but it doesn't matter since I've never met him. I said I've never met a Chad that wasn't gay.
I honestly don't know anything about that guy other than he was on DWTS and made up his last name based on his jersey number or some such nonsense.
I didn't like the name based on him. I just like it. It's very 80's, and I find that the 80's names are not en vogue right now, which makes them more attractive to me.
I also like the name Vaughn. A Lot. But with our fairly German last name, it sounds strange.
Dammit, naming a kid is hard. And you're not going to please everybody.
