[Opinions] Re: Dallas?

I know a girl and a boy named Dallas. I do not really like the name, but I must say that it sounds much better on a boy than a girl. The name reminds me of a cowboy. It does have a nice sound, but I do not like that it is the name of a big city.

I do not remember a Dallas in Gone with the Wind. Where was this character in the movie?

The character did not make it into the movie, as he was a minor character. He appeared only in the book. He was Dallas McClure, the darling of his two older spinster sisters, Faith and Hope McClure. He was killed in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Oh ok. I was confused because I really like the movie, but I had never heard of the character before.
