Eugene or Beulah? for a baby? Rain Man, leave those alone. i can't stand for a baby to have some old person's name. especially a name that reminds me of a maid (BEULAH from a 50s TV show). to me, that's right up there w/these African-American (not African) names. and people wonder why:
a. teachers stereotype children early on w/these "buckwild" names
b. children have attitudes when asked to repeat/spell their names
these names are crazy not unique. in order for your child to stand out, make sure they're educated, have a talent, etc. naming your child Plaxico or Beyonce is NOT IT.
