What’s in a Name?

My son learns that some names are suitable for both boys and girls:

Matt: Shelby? A guy’s name? You gotta be kidding me!

Daddy: No joke. Haven’t you ever heard of the Shelby Mustang? It was one of the hottest custom sports cars of the 60’s.

Matt: What does that have to do with it?

Daddy: It was designed by a guy named Shelby. That’s why it’s named the Shelby Mustang.

Matt: His name was Shelby? Weird.

Daddy: Actually, that was his last name.

Matt: What was his first name?

Daddy: Um… Carroll.

Matt: Carroll? A guy’s name? You gotta be kidding me!

Daddy: Don’t you have some homework to do or something?

Next week: My son asks me about male menopause.
