It's lovely and has a cool, retro sound to it. And I have never taught one (20 years teaching in schools with 1000+)

It was what I wanted to call my DS but couldn't get DH onboard. I still look at him & think he's a Gene

I can't get Amy Schumer's kids "name" out my head when I hear Gene.

Gene Attell Fischer

Genital fissure...

I'm sure that isn't his actual name, but still...

My toddlers best friend is a gene.

I love it. A few celebrities have Gene's so I'm sure it will become more widely used.

I've not heard it used on babies for a long long time. I think it would be adorable on a little boy and is suitable for an adult too

Has it ever gone away?
