They say the number of babies named “Jethro” declined drastically in the early 1960s.
strange how names are like any other fad. I can’t stand it when I hear people naming their babies the currently popular name...especially if it is a name that was nowhere to be found just a few short years prior.
Future pick hits: Barack, Trayvon, and Willard.
Hmmmmm, lets see if Trayvon makes the list next year.
I didn’t see Barack on the boys list.
I didn’t see Barack on the boys list.
Is Latrina in there, I actually saw that name once, how about Latoilet or maybe Toiletta?
I’m surprised there aren’t more English surnames as first names for girls. That seems to be a fad In recent years.
Where’s Patrick and Charles?
In Germany you can’t change your name.
They left one off the list: gunsequalfreedom.
How could they have missed that great name? Geez.
Actually, ConservativeStatement has a nice ring to it too.
Mason Williams made #2 & #3!
Wow!
What a Gas!
What A Classical Gas!
;-)
Interesting that over half (26) of the boy’s names are Biblical or Biblically based, i.e. “Christopher”.
We chose Charles last year for our baby. Not on the list. We chose the family name route instead of the trend name.
I have no idea if this is any good but this site claims;

Yes they charge for the info. Just wanted to point out a possible resource or type of for those who want all possible help with baby names.
Why would anyone name their daughter “Brooklyn”?
Next year, “Trayvon” will be popular. Fifteen years from now, that name will make the news again as kids whose parents gave them a criminal’s name all go to jail.
I remember as a kid in the 80s thinking how unfortunate the nickname Dick and how I wouldn’t go by it if it were mine. Today? I think it’s awesome! I’d proudly go by it just to rattle cages. Yeah! So? That’s right, my name is DICK!
