shhh! not so loud!Somebody's sure to think naming a boy Stallion is a good idea! Remember I've talked about cowboy-wannabe names? lol

oh I wouldn't worry it's been done [m]I once found a little boy named Stallion, and I found 2 little girls named Vixen twice before.

:gagging with laughter: oh dear.Sexual appeal and prowess seem that important these days, I guess. As far as I'm concerned, that's incredibly cheesy -- the reference is so trivial and vain! but the times, you know, they're a-changing. O, tempora! O, mores! ;-) - mirfak

I think I'd compare it to......A boy being named Stud, actually. Since Vixen has a stronger sexual undertone than Stallion--in my mind, at least. In any case, I don't like it. :PArray

Stallion does have pretty strong sexual connotationsIn fact, it seems right on a level with Stud. You hear about Italian Stallions all the time. At least I have. Just as often, you hear about Stud Muffins.I keep thinking I've heard of Stud being used as a first name. There's Studs Terkel the writer. But his name being plural makes me think more of jewlery and wall-studs than sex. lol

As I said, might just be me. :)I can't think of any people called Stud, I'm afraid. My dad used to call me his little stud when I was little, though--although it's worth pointing out that the connotation there was clearly non-sexual! :DArray
