Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Blair?
in reply to a message by number1212
(Momentarily pretending it's 2008. George W. Bush is president. Barack and Hillary just finished decking it out. Sarah Palin is a thing. Donald Trump is a reality TV personality, end of list. The iPhone is a luxury only rich kids have. We all have iPods, though. Teen celebrities still wear purity rings. People still watch broadcast TV.)

Okay that little diversion aside:
I don't dislike the name Blair.
This will sound kind of odd: I don't really care for the name itself, but I kinda like it on any gender.
The name itself is rather unpleasant sounding. It doesn't strike me as feminine or masculine.
Yet I don't dislike it?
I don't know. I just looked at the popularity rankings and was struck at how popular the name seems to be for girls right now in the US; I figured this would be a rather dated fad name. I mean, Gossip Girl was kind of a thing when I was in high school (insofar as any CW shows were "things" before Netflix streaming), but Blair Waldorf wasn't exactly the kind of character one might view as aspirational for a child.
