Is This Name Super – or a Joker? | Ask The Name Lady

I'm expecting my first child, a boy. I recently came across a Facebook post saying something along the lines of "Ladies, considering naming your boy Gotham. That way, if he cries in the middle of the night, all you have to do is turn to your man and whisper 'Gotham needs you.'" My partner is a huge Batman fan and we both had a good laugh over this. But now I am really loving the name for our son! However, I am worried about teasing in the future. Should I go with Gotham for our son?

Kara Cavazos takes a hard look at the everyday names of Avengers the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America & Co.
Clare's insight:

I like how so many of them have ordinary solid names: Tony, Steve, Bruce, Nick, Clint.  They could be my dad's friends.  I suppose it makes their powers seem even more extraordinary.

Scott Porter: Why We Named Our Son McCoy | Name News | Scoop.it
“Well, there’s a Texas quarterback named Colt McCoy. I said I wouldn’t do Colt, but I’d do McCoy, secretly knowing my favorite X-Men character is the Beast, Hank McCoy,” shares Porter.

Clare's insight:

...or a crisp magnate.  Mm, I could go for some McCoy's crinkle crisps right now.
