Personal experiences with the name Logan

My son's name is Logan. It gets really annoying that when people hear "I have a child named Logan," they go, "Boy or girl?"

My son is Logan, taken from my favorite X-Men character, Wolverine. When he was born it wasn't that popular to name your child after a comic book character but thanks to the explosion of Marvel and DC movies, his name's origin isn't so unique anymore.
