Way way back in the day (i'm talking 1940s here) my name was a common male name. Then it started to shift and became more popular for girls, now its not a common baby name at all anymore.

I still like it though

I have an uncle named Tracy, and my grandpa's best friend who just passed away last year was named Leslie...but everyone called him Bill since his middle name was William.

My point exactly. I thought that was Zwick's point too. :confused:

As a side note I did have an Uncle Marion and an Aunt Bill. :confused:

Then of course there was Leslie Townes Hope. Most folks that knew of him just called him Bob.

I have a step uncle (sounds weird, lol) named Kim. He never got made fun of for his name. Probably because he's a huge dude and people were afraid of him.

No but close

I doubt people will guess it. I'm not sure many people realize my name was a guy's name ever. I first learned it was while reading an Ayn Rand novel ...
