If she's "all washed-up" why would lots of people name their children after her? I'll bet "Sarah" and her kid's names are growing in popularity, as well.

I went to college with a girl who was born in 1964, and named Reagan (after Ronaldus Magnus), coming to age in the 80s. Perfect timing!

My wife, a woman of German extration, wanted Germanic names for the children. Unfortunately, she wouldn't settle for the German names I offered her - Wolfgang, Ludwig, Gertrude, Gunther, etc. So we ended up with prosaic English names - Mary, Daniel, David and John.

It doesn’t mention Spider. I love the name Spider. If I ever have a kid, I’m gonna name him (or her) Spider.

Other examples of surnames or heros in movies, life and literature used as first names: Landry (as in football coach Tom), Gatsby (as in fictional hero The Great), and Palin (yes, as in her).
Have these people even read The Great Gatsby? "Hero" isn't the first word that comes to mind.

Some of them are pretty good.
At least we are not seeing "L-A" ( Ladasha ) in those lists.
Nope, not kidding. Friend of mine has the newspaper clipping...

Son born in the 60’s was named Michael - as were 6 others on his baseball team that year. IMO parents should consider a name that not only fits a child but that also will be appropriate when they are an adult. Since it’s the first word most often learn to write, they need to cut out the weird spellings.

I’m glad my parents didn’t follow any “Hot Trends (gasp)” when they named me. Particualarly those from a preening know-nothing, deploying two names.
I’m gonna call her just plain Pam to piss her off.

Thinking of changing my son’s name to Entropy. The amount of energy he wastes doing useless crap is mind boggling.

As to your tagline, John Connally would fit also.

"2012 will be the year of M names, Satran predicts. Examples: Maeve, Magdalena, Maisie, Marguerite, Marlo/Marlowe, May, Mila, Millie, and Minnie, and for boys, Magnus, Micah, Miller, Milo, Montgomery, Moses and MONICA!" She forgot "Muhammad."

The girls name “Madison” zoomed to popularity after the Darryl Hannah character in the movie “Splash” had that name.
And she got that name in the movie because they were on Madison Avenue in New York, and Tom Hanks decided to call her that.
I wonder if he had named her 5th Avenue or Broadway in that movie, if those names would have caught on.

If I ever have a kid, Im gonna name him (or her) Spider. Do it with a 'y' (Spyder) so you can use the classic car as an excuse for your desire to come up with an unusual name.

2. A slew of parents are looking to the animal kingdom to give their kids fearsome names. Bear, Fox, Wolf, Lynx and a range of names from Leo to Lionel that mean lion, and then there are the perhaps-even-fiercer names like Breaker, Ranger, and Wilder. Outside of Leo and Lionel (or Wolf if you are German), those sound like names for my dog. "Bear, let's go hunting!" "Woof!"

“And the all time inner city girl name:

I knew a guy who taught at an inner city school in Los Angeles. He had a girl in his class named Female Brown. She said that the hospital gave her that first name. You are right, you can’t make that s*#t up.

I know several folks (including a couple of FReepers) who named their daughters Reagan and one who also has a son named Ron.
