The only Erin I have personally known was male, and definitely never slept with the football team.
I read it as a random example of how a name can have negative associations for people.
Really a male Erin??? Unusual... I've not heard of a man being called Erin. The name means Irish goddess of peace and the old name for Ireland

Certainly name associations can be very strong but like Glam said i think once a child has that name and ppl get to know the child they then become the association.
