So my husband was telling me the other night about a friend of his named Stacy Goff. I found out it was a male. I said...why would you name a boy Stacy? And he said...well, that was his middle name. His first name was Jack.

Yes, the parents named this kid Jack Goff.

Anybody else have any like this?

I <3 your icon.

I don't understand why parents would do that to their kids. And it makes them look terrible too.

Is that Menzel? Either way, it's amazing.

I was lucky enough to see her at the Gershwin. FABULOUS! Much better then the three other Elphabas I've seen.

haha this makes me laugh bc when I was pregnant w/my dd, we called her "Broccoli" before we knew if she was a boy or girl. so my friend & I used to joke that that's what I could call the baby: Brock Lee or Brock Leigh (depending, of course, if it was a boy or girl lol).

I went to school with a male Stacey and he was all man, and I worked with a male Stacy but he was gay!! But that is a really bad name.

Jack Goff is better than Jack Doff, whom I met in my junior year. He was a senior, though, and changed his last name a few months ago.

One of my friend's last name is Hoff. Jack is his nickname, thought up by a lot of horny high school boys. Luckily that's not his given name, or even close to it.

My cousin's wife became Randi Cox after she married him.

JFTR though, Stacy is unisex. I've know men and women named Stacy.

My drama teacher my senior year once told us of a boy he was friends with in school: Harry Puzy.

Reminds me of the time my Dad was reading the phone book (yes, he was bored at work) and came across the name:

Meoff, Jack

Yes...it really was in the phone book.

And, FYI...my FH's name is Stacey. And he went to high school with 2 other Stacey's.

Funny thing....

I went to highschool with a guy named Stacy and never thought anything of it. But I think the first time I heard the name Stacy was Stacy Keach, the actor. A lot of people probably knew female Stacey's before hearing it as a boys name.

i hate the name stacy with a possion. i think id rather use it on a boy to be honest, it brings up the worst sort of trashy thoughts on girls.
ahh, name snobbery.
