I generally think of Owen as a boy's name as well - but I like it as a girl's name

It seems these days that any name can be a girl's name. Pick the last name of a past president--Madison. Woohoo! Instant trendy girl's name!

Try naming a boy Jennifer though. That'll go over big. A boy's name for a girl is "cool," while a girl's name for a boy is sissy and will get him beat up.

Gotta love the good ol' double standard! If I have a girl, she's gonna have a feminine name. That doesn't mean she can't be strong, tough, and/or cool!

Edit: Sorry Deanna--this post might come off as being directed at you but it totally isn't. I'm just spouting off a general social commentary. Everyone feel free to ignore.

In any case, I wish the couple and their new baby the best, .

Eh - everyone is entitled to their opinion - and you make some good points.

It can go too far though.

There was a professor at my college - her name was Kevin. I mean wtf.

Also my brother in law worked with a woman named Dennis. Again - wtf.

She is a talented young thing - and I actually have both of her albums.
I like her too. She also opened up for the Dixie Chicks. She was very good!

Who names their kid Owen? If it's a girl, that is. Rock and Roll kid names are always strange. O_o

Congrats to her nonetheless.

If I had to choose Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch, I'd be Vanessa all the way.

But Michelle having a baby? I am shocked. I bet Britney wishes she were her. I mean she can go thru 9 months with nary a picture and Britney can't walk 5 inches without everyone commenting how fat and fugly she looks.
