Suggested relatively genderless names:

	Dana (my son's name)
	Lee
	Jody
	Robin
	Sandy (Alexander/Alexandra)
	
It's interesting to note that names tend to gravitate
from being men's names to being women's names.  Consider
that Robin was originally a form of Robert.  All the
Dana's I knew growing up were men; now people are
coming to think of it as a woman's name.

The recent fad of using Irish surnames, e.g., Ryan, as first
names for both boys and girls is curious, too.

	The question is:

	"How do you refer to a dead baby?"

	And the answer is......

	"Look in the card catalog!"

			Now aren't you sorry they killed net.db?
