Frank, what are your favorite baby names?
In no particular order:
Thomas – my mother called my mom "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" because "it's the name of the boy on Buffy" and I have no idea if she's joking
Elizabeth – I have no idea how I feel about this name, really
Nicholas – I can see why people think this one is nice, although I don't want my kids to have it
Michael – I can see why people have their problems with it (like it's hard to pronounce and sounds a little silly), although that's not why I have this problem
Jason – it just sounds nice and is a little more old-fashioned than you'd think it'd be
Jack – it's a great name that has never made me feel weird about being it (although I do dislike it when it appears as a single name on a list)
Joshua – just because my brother is called Joshua
Samuel – my parents wanted a boy to go by Samuel but I don't like that it's not really a name in itself and the kids will probably end up changing it (I had a friend called Samuel in middle school, too)
Alexander – I've gotten a few nice compliments about this, but I have no idea where I got this impression, because it's not a very masculine name
William – this is a classic "you had me at 'William,'" name
Benjamin – this is my favorite on its own, just because it sounds like a name
