HelpRe: Laramie?
in reply to a message by LMS
The only Laramie I ever heard of was a girl I went to high school with. I thought it was kind of pretty at first hearing it, but I changed my mind. She had apparently gotten called larry a lot in early years, so that's a drawback. Also, I'm sorry to say she had a very bad reputation, she bragged about being with 22 different men and boys one weekend and rumor was she had a few different diseases. I don't doubt it.
I would not use it for a boy, it just sounds like a girls' name. Sad to say, names that would go with it as siblings would be Cody, Cheyenne, Dakota and that kind of wannabe cowboy or cowgirl names.

Oh, now that you mentioned it in the category of "wannabe cowboy/gowgirl" names I am immediately turned off by it. It has officially been removed from my list!

The Matthew Shepard connotations didn't turn you off but pseudo-cowboy did? Huh.

Both together did...(

Dallas, Cheyenne, Maverick, it's always funny to see those names used, because nine times out of ten they're used by parents who've never been out West in their lives and whose main view of the West is watching reruns of "Dr. Quinn" or "Walker Texas Ranger."
I propose these people branch out a bit and start using some less common Western names. How's this for size?
Lasso
Pommel
Mustang
Stirrup
Saddle Sores
Cow-Pie
Cactus

And those of us from the area (1 hr south of Cheyenne and Laramie) would never dream of naming a child we love after places like those. :P

Well, I have been west, but when I hear names like that I think of the people you think of, therefore I want to steer completely clear of those types of names!
About your other names, I am pretty sure there are children out there with the name Mustang...male and female. That is sad.
