Well, you know what they say about assuming. I like this name because of my ancestors from Ireland. I guess it is about my heritage.

I kinda like the sound of this name, but who wants to share a name with a man who called slavery a "positive good"? I'm just going to assume that anyone who uses this name uses the Confederate flag to celebrate their "heritage."

My son's middle name. :) Everyone went for "Noah" from the notebook, but I took his last name and turned it into a middle name.

That's kind of a big assumption there. It is possible to like the name without having any association to the man you're referring to.
