The insults seem to stay strong through elementary school. (If you give your child this name, teach him responsibility and how to be tough early. Chances are he/she will have a bully or 2.)
Might even want to teach them about fighting at an earlier age. How it's wrong or what not. Self defense at least. For the love of the name "Dirk" please, at least self defense people.
=D" Dec. 7, 2007:
"My son is Dirk, my father is Dirk. And the most distant ancestor we could find born in 1453, was also Dirk!" Jul. 6, 2007:
"My friend Dirk always got teased saying his name was a cross of dirt and jerk." Mar. 2, 2007:
