Texas
Would you think boy or girl?

Boy probably, but I would be a bit like this .

boy?

I'm afraid I'd automatically think 'that's not a name, it's a state' . Sorry.

Boy I think

I wouldnt think anything.

Id either search for a dog or laugh.

<helpful>

I'd think girl but I would also think "poor child".

It's not me
It's a fb friend
It's a girl
I was and thought I was being all like my mother but thank you it would seem I'm er not?

Boy.

Or alien - like Ford Prefect?

I don't know but id wonder if they had a brother or sister called "Paris"

Boy.

Awful.

Esp for a girl.

There is a sister and she has a less common but conventional normal girls name

Boy, though would probably say "Haha what did you really call her? Nobody would he that stupid or cruel"

Boy.

Id be too but there have been some weird baby names round my way lately (Payton and Bram to name but a few) so I am starting to feel immune.

There was a girl on hollyoaks called Texas. Might that have been the inspiration? !

Part Boy, part calculator?

Boy
awful to be named after the state George W Bush is from. What were they thinking?

Bram? As in Stoker? The author of Dracula?

There's a recent baby boy in my SILs family named Texas. His parents have genuinely explained that their inspiration came from an on-line poker game

Boy, I think Tex sounds quite nice as a nn.

I'm with I heart - think they took inspiration from Texas on Hollyoaks. Also have a fully grown male friend called Dallas and oddly it really suits him!!

Yup Bram, Emma

Was she conceived in Texas? I can honestly think of NO other reason to inflict such a name on a child. Not that even that would be a good one.

I think I'd think girl - on the basis that aren't all US states female? Like boats, or summat?

Makes me think of Texas Pete from Superted. That was his name, wasn't it?
