I was at a McDonalds in Baltimore many years ago, and the girl behind the counter had a name tag that read,
“Baby Girl”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I suspect she still works there. Unless she went to court - and obtained a real name - she’ll be forever stuck at minimum wage jobs because her parents were stupid.

My husband used to worked with a man named Void Guess his wife is named Null? |
Annnndddd.... they both FReep here
While I can’t prove it, I’m certain “Plaxico” as in Plaxico Burress the NFL star player, was named after a medical product that his parents saw in the hospital.
Wiki, says he was named after his “uncle”.
No relation...
and I wonder why white Catholics name their kids: Madison, tyler, parker, blake, dillon, dallas, amber, brittany,
“id just as when I hear of a girl named Reagan, I think of the 40th POTUS and not the possessed girl from the Exorcist.
Why? The girl in the exorcist was Regan,as was King Lear’s daughter.
Regan is an old name.

One of the latest I have heard is La-a(pronounced Ladasha). I wish I was making this up.
The most popular baby names now are pretty traditional: Sophia, Emma, Isabella, Olivia, and Ava for girls; Jacob, Mason, Ethan, Noah, and William for boys.
Yes ... thank you ... it is indeed fascinating. I taught computers in a catholic elementary school for a short while. My 7th grade class was composed of: Christines, Christinas, Kristines and Christophers. I still recall the age of the “Jennifer’s and Lisa’s” and now, my neighbor’s 1st grader is named “Ava”. Somewhere in between, though, I recall a spate of odd names - there was a girl named ‘Stardust’ in one shop and I know several African Americans who caved to the notion of giving their children “unique” identities with unpronounceable names. I guess it is all part of the circle of contemporary life. One disadvantage, though, is the impact on ancestral research. In trying to locate family records, the process was facilitated by the fact that during the 19th century, the common practice was to name children for their grandparents. That proved most beneficial in sifting through hundreds of records, trying to pinpoint which one might be a relative.
How bout Placenta.
I believe you. A few years ago, a woman gave birth to her first child and named her hash-tag. Try going through life with that name ... better yet, don't.
