It's interesting ... I'd need a while to get used to it, but I do think it's quite sweet. As with any placename, I hope the parents chose it with some affection for the region in mind, rather than on sound alone.

I like the word Kansas. It looks and sounds cool. I've actually found several babies names Kansas on Growing Family. Most were boys.

*strange look*

---

I don't like it. I think its because New Englanders have a thing for making fun of "Kansasians"

Uh, well, as much as I love (or, on a bad day, tolderate) my state, I think there are probably better place names to name your child after. But that's just me.

---

It actually reminds me of a character in a cheerleading movie called Sugar and Spice that I saw a few years back. For that reason, the name is feminine to me. Of course, there's always the band association. Like Miranda said, the name would need a distinct masculine or feminine middle name, just in case.

Logan: Well, that would explain the absence of balloon animals.

I actually kind of like it. It's not my style but somehow I find it kind of cool.

I don't love it for either gender, but I'm not a big fan of place names anyway. I think there could be a teasing issue because the words "can" (almost meaning butt, I guess you could say...lol) and "ass" are both heard in the name. :( And then there's "we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." Ack. Or maybe I just have a dirty mind. :b

Kansas. Is. NOT. A. Name.

Hm... At first I didn't like it at all, but now it's grown on me slightly, at least to the point of tolerance.

---

But as with all place names that are, well, really "place namey", I prefer that the family have a legitimate connection to the place. I don't like place names when they're picked simply because "it sounds pretty"; that's just silly imo.

---

I think Kansas sounds pretty unisex, but the kid would need a 100% male or female mn imo to clarify the sex.

Proud adopter of 15 punctuation marks; see my profile for their names.

Bleh. In my opinion, it'd only work for really big fans of the band, and then on a boy. As a middle name.

Ack! Another place name! Sorry, but I find it so trendy and not at all feminine. Hopefully, Dakota, Kansas, and Nevada wouldn't be in the same class.

Check out my profile for the names of my !'s, ?'s, ~'s, and /'s.

I think it's to masculine for a girl ... I don't usually like American state /city names on children but I loooove David Carradine so I will let it go ;)

I don't like it at all. For a girl or a boy.
