(No offence intended to any sensible Americans posting on here)

Our local football magnate who is American took his kids to an Easter service and his pic is in the paper. His kids are called Brock (boy), MacCall, Avery and Quinn (all girls). These are not first names are they? And they all sound like boys? names to me too.

Oddly enough the dad is called (wait for it?) Andrew.

Sounds like a roll call of boys surnames at an old fashioned public school.

I know an American woman whose son is called Crutcher.

Unspeakable.

Yes Quinn as in the Mighty was certainly a boy.

Poor kids, and they are living in England now so set for some teasing at school.

Quinn is a first name but I thought it was traditionally a boy's name.
