"So there!?????
Well that's very nice. I'm glad such a lovely name is still being chosen. My mother was often called "Ushia" (You-sia) by her friends. I don't know if it is Polish for Josephine or not, since she is born of Polish immigrants.
To: VeritatisSplendor
I've always been partial to names like Cherry, Bambi, and Candy.
To: sneakers
My "so there" was meant to say that there were josephines coming along even today. Nothing intended other than that.

What kind of a name is hildy????I KNOW!!! I've always asked my parents how they came up with it, but never really got a straight answer. I was named after my grandfather (Hyman, talk about crappy names) and there's not a huge selection of H's for girls. My dad always liked the play, THE FRONT PAGE, the lead character being Hildy Johnson. Although I don't think I was named after him (her). Who knows, but it's worked well for me in my life!!!

I've always liked "Blaise" and "Casimir". Both saints names. I believe Casimir was a Polish saint and Blaise was an Irish saint. My birthday (Feb. 3rd) is on the feast of St. Blaise.

"I got a new student today named "Quashod" and I am perplexed as to why any parent would name their name son that!"Sounds like the name of a big clam.
Don't forget Shanneequah, Antavia, Tonietta, and Mystie.

along with Millicent and Milton and Malcolm and Myron. A coed nursing home. Can you imagine the home of the future with all those jadens and aidens.
To: Hildy
Hildy, I know a young woman who had a baby one year ago and named her Hilde. So you are not alone!! I also know a grown up Hilda and there is always Hilda, no I mean Gilda, Radner.

"but try this table "
Better methods of presenting date in tables have been used.

We have no idea how he got his UL "name". Unfortunately he died in middle age, and due to some rifts in the family it seems that we just don't know a whole lot about him. His daddy's first and middle names were Jesse James and his momma was Minnie Pearl. I always enjoyed those names.

MESSAGE TO ALL FUTURE PARENTS:
It's a shame how parents burden poor, innocent babies with these STUPID names in a desperate pathetic attempt for self-seteem, uniqueness, and success.
If you want an athlete, name your son Deion Williams. If you want your kid to be a President, name your son George Bush. If you want your kid to be a singer, name her Maddonna Cole Osmond or, if it's a boy, Bennett Sinatra. If you want a business tycoon, Forbes Rockefeller will do the trick. These are ALL better than the ones we have been discussing!!!
These names will likely require you parents to change their last names, but if you love your children, this is the best way to do delude one's self, while sparing the rest of us from dealing with names like Kaley, DeShawn, and Kriss'tahl.

I overlooked your response...
If you were looking for saints from the NE of England, you could have done far worse with Cuthbert or Godric!

I named my middle daughter Camden. You probably don't live in New Jersey, right?

What ever happened to George, Gary, Walter, Harry, Roger, Shirley, Sandy, Sherry, Marcella, Betty, Phyllis, Bess, Velma? Does anybody name their kids with these once very popular names anymore?Not if they can help it. ;) Elizabeth is not uncommon, but parents don't use the Betty or Bess nicknames. They use Leeza, Lisa, & Beth.
To: The Great RJ
They forgot to add: Lemonjello, Dibetes,Clymidea"
In 1988, I was watching, sort of, a "talent show" on a Baltimore TV station. One kid's talent was lip-syncing a rap song. The emcee asked the kid his name and his talent. The kid replied, "I be Devoid". "Devoid B. Williams". A moment later the emcee asked Devoid who was his assistant? Devoid said, "my girlfren". Her name be Chlamydia".
I almost had a stroke.
To: Nea Wood
You said.........The sad thing is, all these people naming their kids "Caden" and "Madison" think they are being soooo glamorous and unique. They're in for a big shock when they register their kids in kindergarten or preschool and find out how common the names are.
AMEN!! Now if they REALLY wanted their kid to have a different name, they'd try MARY....or JOEY...Annie...or Johnny.
