Our neighbors have a boy named Maverick and I cringe every time I hear it. Just seems like they’re trying way too hard…


There's a Remington on our street. Maybe his baby brother will be Glock.

I immediately thought of Thornton. I don’t know much about him personally but he wrote great works so not a bad association, to my mind.

I would not name a girl that. Second association is the potential for Spring Break jokes.
