Is "George" a blighted choice of name?

[EnfantTerrible]

Out of abject boredom I googled the etymology of "George". I learned that it means "earthworker"... then I began to wonder if any expectant parents would still name their child George or if the chimp has effectively blighted the name out of existance.

I welcome your thoughts as well as your contributions to a list of those named George who actually made it a name to be proud of...

I'll kick us off

George: Washington
Orwell
Sand (for the ladies)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. of the Jungle

4. george, my ex-husband

he's a right-winger. that's one reason he's my ex.

now to balance the negative with a positive....

george clooney

5. If you can't be proud of this George...

Youve got nothing to be proud of:

[Solly Mack]

6. I'm rather fond of the name actually

though by no means am I fond of all who are so named.

7. There are starting to be adults named "Reagan". Not only that,

one of them named his son "Reagan II". Ouch.

Reagan Mauia, like most other football players, doesn't scare easily....

Mauia and Herrion never met. But Mauia, a 325-pound junior defensive lineman, said he has thought about him often since Saturday....

Now an even more important reason to lose weight has been reinforced. Actually two reasons: his wife, Rebekah, and son, Reagan II.

Wouldn't that be considered "child abuse"? At least there are many worthwhile Georges, like Washington, Mitchell, and Harrison. But "Reagan"? :puke:
