I know a Chandler who was, unfortunately, born a few years before the tv show Friends came out. He was teased mercilessly and went by his middle name for years. Consider carefully the impact that show will have on your child before naming a kid Chandler!
Growing up, there were two Chandlers in my class, one was a boy and the other was a girl. That was always wierd. It bothers me when people name their daughters boy names in an attempt to make them a 'spunky, tom-boy'.
My name is Chandler and I'm a girl and I've never had a problem with it.
