[Opinions] Re: Niles
Niall is a bad idea, too, if the parents are worried about strong associations. Niall is HUGE right now because of associations with One Direction. That's even bigger in the psyche of the world right now than Frasier.

I had no idea at all with One Direction. Then again I'm really not into pop culture BUT I'd personally worry more about a very popular fictional character rather than a member of a boy band

I have no clue what One Direction is.

A HUGE boy band in English speaking countries that is growing in the East as well. I somehow can't believe you have no idea who they are as they are all over TV/Radio and I swear I hear about them at least once a week, which seems like a lot since I have no interest in them.

Some of us don't listen to the radio or watch TV. I only know of them fleetingly... Although the more I think about it the more I know about them. Still, I can understand someone not knowing. My knowledge comes secondhand and mostly from FB.

It's not that I don't trust her, I'm just amazed!

Don't be really. I only know they're a boy band and nothing else. I listen to oldies stations and Christian stations and we don't watch TV over the air or on cable. Just Netflix. I've seen the headlines about then online on occasion, but I skim by them.

That's all i know about them too. I watch a fair amount of tv, but it's all recorded so i don't see many advertisements. I listen to radio, all public radio but that includes a high school radio. But i learned about the band from work, retail, where they had a ton of one direction merchandise that wouldn't sell. So i know vaguely what they look like and that they're a band, but i couldn't tell you anything else or what their music sounds like. I don't think they're played on the high school station, whose theme is hot dance music.

Boy BandRather big. My friend's daughter cried for an hour after her sister ripped her poster of one of the band members.
