Help[Opinions] Dallas?
Do you like Dallas for a boy? I received a call from a man named Dallas the other day, and it reminded me that it was the name of a character in Gone With the Wind.
I like it. The problem I have is that I hate the city Dallas, and I'd be afraid I'd think of it every time I called my child. And I wouldn't want anyone to think I named him after the city. If it was a city I liked, I wouldn't mind, but not Dallas TX. But I do like the sound of it.

I only like Dallas on a girl I know a girl named Dallas

I don't like the habit of naming children after cities, and this one in particular just reminds me of the soap opera. And I don't think it'd be a great idea to name a child after a city you hate, it should be some place where you have a positive connection (or a neutral one).

I really like Dallas and really like it on a girl but It reminds me so much of The Rock Of Love show because that is the first time I saw that name on a person. Before that it was the city of course

I think it's okay. I don't think I would use it though. I don't have a problem with the city Dallas but because I associate that name with the city so much...I can't imagine using it on a child. I guess in my mind, it's a city, not a name for a person. But of course that's just my opinion and I do realize that is in fact a name.

i once dated a guy named Dallas..well his mn was Dallas and his first was Russell but he went by his mn instead. He was a total jerk and really into himself so i'm not fond of the name.

I love Dallas. It's definitely a GP of mine. In fact, I was just pondering the other day whether I'd actually ever use it. Probably not -- it doesn't mesh well with the names of my other children.
BTW, I ran into a man named Texas the other day. :-)

I do like the name for a boy, but it reminds me too much of the city, as well. :(

I knew a guy named Dallas, and he was a good person. I liked him, but I don't much care for the name.

Reminds me of The Outsiders. I like it.

I know a man named Dallas and his son is also named Dallas. I never met the son, but the father bore a distinct resemblance to the walrus from The Walrus and the Caroenter out of Alice in Wonderland. http://members.tripod.com/lcw1980/alice047.jpg
That is all I think about when I hear the name. He was a nice man, but the walrus is too much for me. I also think it has kind of lispy sound to it.

I know a girl and a boy named Dallas. I do not really like the name, but I must say that it sounds much better on a boy than a girl. The name reminds me of a cowboy. It does have a nice sound, but I do not like that it is the name of a big city.
I do not remember a Dallas in Gone with the Wind. Where was this character in the movie?

Oh ok. I was confused because I really like the movie, but I had never heard of the character before.

But I'm not fond of it for either gender.
