There is a hospital in Dallas named Dedman Hospital. I don't want to ever be a patient there with a name like that!​

Or female and in the south.

Depends on who's talking. If it's a female, talking, it could be just about anyone: male, female, child, adult.

I grew up with a boy named Meredith; first time I ever heard it used for a girl I thought that was very strange!

Ok, first I love that name Talia, I will have to keep that in my records, what nationality is it?

and secondly, ha ha ha ha, we just keep them coming, Dedman hospital?? That would kind like be naming a morgue, Resurection Place.... (sure I spelled that wrong)

I'm the family genealogist, so I've run into some really strange ones the further back I go. But my 3rd Great Grandfather on my mother's side was Ebenezer Cree. I always thought that was a classic. I saw what is said to be "the only" existing photo of him, sitting in a rocking chair, surrounded by the family which of course included 8 million kids and several women in front of their original farm house. He had a rickety old hat and a HUGE and LONG white beard, large hooked nose, and a cane hung from the arm of his chair. That is EXACTLY what I would imagine "Old Ebenezer Cree" to look like!
