Plenty of names from the Bible & history that have been fine for many many centuries and will be no doubt for many more.

It's not rocket science.

That's worse than sending your child to school with a kick me sign on them. My word. Why on earth would you do that to a person?

I have been educated. I always thought of Savannah as a southern debutante name like Scarlett or Virginia

Just call your kids some common generic name like John Smith. Works for all kinds of people! Plain and generic.

That's what I thought! I even lived in the South and met little girls named Savannah. There's even a beautiful city that's several hundred years old named Savannah. Never thought of stripers when I was there!

My g-parents live in Savannah. They suggested that my parents name my sister that, but my parents decided to decline I'm glad they did or my sister may have a completely different profession

I knew a really really smart girl in high school named Quan'tranae Jenkins. Her life was hell because of it. I wonder what happened to her?

That just sounds as if you didn't give a crap or the baby came as a surprise and you didn't have time to think of a better name.

These names with apostrophes? What was left out that an apostrophe was inserted?
