I’m probably going to get criticized about this already, but I wouldn’t name any of my kids the name “Cannon”, nor would I recommend. A kid I know went through so much humiliation with it his whole, and he ultimately ended up changing his first name to an ordinary run-of-the-mill name. Most people in the world would know it’s not an ordinary run-of-the-mill name anyone would really name their kid (boy, for example). Giving kids (again, boy, for example) ordinary run-of-the-mill names, like Stephen, William, John, Jonathan, Nathaniel, Daniel, Samuel (like mine), Vincent, Benjamin, Jared, Noah, Robert, Richard, Jack, Mark, Marcus, Randall, Kevin, Jeffrey, Earl, Stanley, Eric, Wyatt, Morgan, Seth, Donald, Henry, Martin, Patrick, Virgil, Harold, James, Matthew, Daryl, Douglas; but all in all, just any ordinary run-of-the-mill names like those for example, giving your boys those kinds of names, as they are ordinary run-of-the-mill names, would make them feel like they really do fit in more with normal everyday society. If you know what I mean.
Having said all that, I would not recommend names like Cannon, Talon, or Mannen for your boys. Plus, I wouldn’t recommend the name Teegan for your girls, either. Take my word for it, or not, those are not ordinary run-of-the-mill names, but the others I mentioned above are.

Sam? I agree with you. These messages we’re leaving will open the eyes to the public about what to really name their kids and what not to name their kids. I’m glad we’re on the same page. Thank you, again, Sam.
