What does the 2012 crop of New Year's babies foretell? A quick glance will confirm that when it comes to the new generation of American baby names, creativity rules there's no longer such a thing as "normal."

See the list for each state's New Year's baby's name at link.

What? No new Barracks?

But plenty of Mohammeds, Abdullahs and Husseins that are not mentioned but will be heard of in the future.

A very loving welcome to all the babies born. God bless them all.

My friend had a daughter last year. She wanted to give her a unique name, something that no other girl in her class would have.

She named her Mary.

When I first started substitute teaching in middle school a couple of years ago I’d start attendance with “I apologize in advance if I mangle a name’s pronunciation, just correct me if I’m wrong and I’ll do my best to remember it”

I was born in 1966. My parents wanted to give me an unusual name that would stand out.

They named me Jason, which was pretty unusual at the time. Ten years later, the name became one of the top boy names for newborns.

I thus have had both a rare and common name. I liked it much better when Jason became common and everyone knew how to spell and pronounce it.

My step-daughter named her son “Emmanuel James Jaquarius D’Andre Merrit”

I just call him Manny.

“Sir, I’m gonna need another sheet...”
