In the 11+ years that I've lived in North Carolina, one thing (other than North Carolinians' inability to use turn signals) has vexed me:

Why do so many Southern men have girl names?

Here's a short list of the "guy" names I've heard with varying degrees of frequency during my time in NC:

Lynn
Devon
Shannon
Ashley
Leigh
Stacy
Tracy
Marian

This strikes me as odd, since a lot of Southern men present themselves as rough-and-tumble tough guys. I can say with no hesitation that I have never met a man from north of the Mason-Dixon line with a name from that list.

Maybe it's a "Boy Named Sue" kind of thing...
