Boys:
Stanford, Jr.
Harvard
Duke (whose twin is T’lane)
Princeton
Cornell
Girls:
Auburn
T’lane (Tulane)

Should have named the twins William & Mary

You beat me to it, I went to high school with a girl named Brandeis. She went by Brandie.
I also went to HS with a guy whose middle name is Radcliffe.

I could name a kid BIFHE (pronounced Biff-ee), which is the acronym for Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education, where I'm studying in a few weeks.
or Ulster.
I would never name a kid Otterbein though, my god.

I have a friend from college named Tulane.  She said her dad loved the school so much that he named her after it.

Hartford.
So that if you said it fast enough, it sounds like the kids name is Harvard. Well, at least in my accent it does.

My friend's daughter was accepted to Hartford, and everyone thought she was accepted to Harvard. They were really impressed for a minute until they were corrected.

I can't remember if it was a guy or girl but someone who was a year or two behind me in high school was named Yale. I wonder if that would give him/her a few bonus points when they applied...

One friend has a brother named "Dean" - as in Dean Smith of UNC Chapel Hill -- another friend has a brother named "Wake" and one named "Forest" as in Wake Forest.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable name to me!
My dentist's daughter is named Auburn and just take a wild guess where she went.

Radford would work for either, I guess. Or not.
the worst one would be Arizona State. That would just be mean.

Yes! I forgot about those.
I think Dalhousie could be a unisex name.
