babynamesI found this post on Nameberry about macho/wild boys' names. I read through the post's comments, and a lot of them do not like the idea of super-macho names for boys, claiming that these names would "own" them, among other reasons. What do you guys think of this?
Personally, the only names on the list I could ever bestow on a kid are Fox and Thor, and even then, probably as a middle name. I think most of these names are a little extreme, honestly. I could not name a kid Diesel because that's the main villain of Thomas the Tank Engine (a staple of my childhood).
Which names do you like and dislike? Do you worry about a name's masculinity when naming male children/characters/pets?
