Vaughn & Murphy on girls?
Obviously, I don't know these people and am not privy to their inner naming motives, and maybe I'm reading too much in to the wrestling connection, but this *looks* like another case of "I want my little girl to have a strong name" syndrome. It's a long-held peeve of mine.Why is it that feminine names are often considered inherently *not* strong?

I don't get it either.I personally think that many authentic feminine names sound strong.It's like the parents of a daughter named Vaughn, Ryan, or Elliot think their daughter can't accomplish anything good if she has a feminine name like Violet, Aurelia, Irene, Filomena, or Theodora. It is a sexist, backwards way of thinking.
