    I actually like Crosby. It started when I fell in love with the show Parenthood. I think it's adorable. The rest are NMS, although I think Arden is pretty.

    Presley for a girl? Really? I'd side-eye the shit out of that. 

    Dean is the only decent name on that list. Oh, and Hope is fine, I'm just not into the virtue names personally.

    lol that's my kid's name. But very few people have even said anything about Ben Roethlisberger to us. I think it is because it is a classic name.

    @amandaf6383‌ I do love Crosby. I just wouldn't use it as a hockey fan right now. But clearly you aren't a hockey fan and I really don't think anybody in Boston would care :)
