Just having fun here, don't take it seriously lol. but have you noticed a ridiculous over-abundance of certain names among gay men? I laugh out loud any more when a new guy introduces himself as:

Steven, Stephen/Stephan, Joe/Joey, Matt, Nate/Nathaniel, Chris.....

Joe and Chris are very popular names so it stands to reason that many gays will have them. Now Brian and Eric don't have the same excuse.

My dad (a WW2 vet) often remarked that among his generation, if a guy had the name Bruce he's probably gay. I never understood this. Perhaps he knew a gay Bruce. Or maybe he just perceived the name as sounding feminine. I've read that some suggest it's because the name Bruce is easily said with a lisp as in 'Bruth.' Another suggested it might be from a gay stock character named Bruce that Johnny Carson did on his show a couple of times. I never got the chance to ask my dad why he thought this. In hindsight, I wish I had.

All gay men have track lighting. And all gay men are named Mark, Rick or Steve.

You literally just beat me to quoting this haha.

Kevin.

Don't ever call a gay man named Christian, Chris. You will be scorned and ruin their week.

Hmmm, I wonder if my parents would still have named me Joe had they known about this

Sebastian seems like the quintessential gay name.

Jason. Seriously, some straight friends of mine went out to eat the other day and they all asked, "do you date anyone NOT named Jason?"

I've yet to met a straight Lance.

Hands down, gayest name is Andre. (sorry to all Andres on RJ, but it really is Tim Gunn's fault)

"Where's Andres???"

Andrew/Andy/Drew

Sheridan!

Rick or any permutation thereof

Ryan

Monosyllabic name beginning with a consonant.

no, not really. Although there was this one time when in a group of gay guys we began introducing ourselves and realized all in the group except for one individual names began with the letter R.

Also, my initials are RJ, my brother's initials are RJ, and his boyfriend's initials are RJ.

Huh. Really, it completely depends on what names were popular in your generation.

Among my friends I've got multiples of Alan, Steven/Stephen, Mike, Andrew, John, Pete, Jim, Paul, Eric, Bob, Brian.
