Yale

I sort of like the name itself, but on an actual person it comes off as very pretentious.

I have a cousin whose name is Yale, and I always think it is a beautiful name.

I for one can look past any association with the University and like it as a name.

Yale is probably not the best name for a child in the United States, due to the common association with Yale University. However, the school is a place of tradition and learning and is part of the famous Ivy League colleges.

I hate this name. It makes me think of the college where snobs send their children.

Come on now, this is ridiculous. You can only associate this with the university. Besides, I've read that the students are rather unpleasant creatures.
