Re: Return to Gender 101
We don't all have boring or completely Anglo-Saxon names. My oldest brother is Thomas Salvatore but they only threatened to name my brother Barry Guiseppe Pasquale O'Keefe so he'd have a chance to be pope. Most of us have Irish names, though really only one of the girls does. My brother Kelly was named before it became a common name for girls and, oddly, it was his middle name James that he always hated.
