2. If women respond you should get a wall or couch to hide behind...

The 'girls' appellation is definitely going to be an issue. I once addressed a post here to the ladies and it was about 60 ok with it / 40 against using the term. But even I, troglodyte extraordinaire, know that there will be issues henceforth by calling females here 'girls'.

5. Meh

This chick does not mind the term, "girls."

[sabrina 1]

8. Lol, neither does this one ...

10. Women call grown men boys all the time

hear it all the time.. does not bother me in the least..actually rarely hearing us called using the word "men" and when I do it sounds odd.

"What are you boys up to"
"I'm going to hang out with the boys over at this table" ( women saying this)

On and on..


My wife's horse riding club (all women) is called the "Willow Creek Girls"

13. This is very true. I do it. Doesn't bother the husband nt

7. It is all Madonna's fault---

Put blame where it belongs

9. Well, at the time their parents name them they are indeed "girls"

My daughter was actually a fetus at the time we named her.

12. Heh... I think I remember some of you as my defenders...

But my mind is fuzzy on the details... Especially now that I need to steal back an hour to finish what I was supposed to be doing instead of posting here. I know that little red "X" in the upper right corner will set me free... I just... need to. Read. One. More. Thread.

One wont hurt, right?

[HappyMe]

14. Stuff like that doesn't bother me.

[HappyMe]

3. I'm just me.

My name didn't show up.

[TBF]

4. My name isn't on there -

but my daughter's is. Her name became very popular several years after she was born. I like to think I started a trend

[snooper2]

6. I'm always ahead of the curve---

We named our daughter Sophie in 2009,

Now Sophia is the #1 name- (IE- the new cartoon which is actually really good, Sophia the 1st!)



Sophia sounded too 50's grandma for me, Gene Simmons named his daughter Sophie so that was good enough for me

11. My name showed up once. In Maryland. Cool.

[tabbycat31]

15. I highly doubt my name will make that list

When I was a kid in the 80s, I could not even get keychains, etc with my name on it (which is more popular now--- in fact I have 3 keychains with my name on it on my keys now to make up for what I could not get as a kid).
