My boyfriend's name is Taylor, and he was born during a time when it was more popular for girls than for boys. As far as I know, he was never teased about it, aside from maybe a bit of good-natured ribbing from some friends. He just wasn't the type of kid who got teased, especially in middle school and high school.

On the other hand, my name is Megan - which was like #10 or #11 the year I was born - and I got teased about it, but I was not very popular and got teased a lot anyway.

I even knew a guy named Carroll in elementary school, and he was really popular and no one dared give him a hard time. I also remember a guy named Kelly running for office in school one year and winning.

A name can give kids ammunition, sure, but so can freckles or glasses or weight or being socially awkward or religion or any number of things.
