Barack or Barrrack not in the top 1000 for the past nine years.

“Barry”hasn’t made it to the top 1000 in the past 5 years.

Who wants to name their kid after the worst President in American history?

Where does "Lyndon" rank on the baby names list?

[scory]

“Barrack” - isn’t that what the call a building that houses soldiers?

How about “Quonset”? That’s a good name and of the same caliber.

Or maybe “Dormitory”? “Dorm” or “Dormy” for short.

[mojito]

It's a Muslim name. As any Muslim child will tell you, it's the name of Muhammed’s horse.

If you're not Muslim, you're not going to name your boy child “Barak.”

[kabar]

A boy named Sue comes to mind.

The true believers would not desecrate His Name, and the rest of us ... well.

Hope you wiped your Rahm when you were finished.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

If you're not Muslim, you're not going to name your boy child “Barak.”

So which of the four horse's is Barak going to be: Conquest, War, Famine, or Death?

[SparkyBass]

‘cause it’s not a name, it’s what babies do.

[OldSpice]

Hmm, then what about Ehud Barak, the Israeli leader?

I guess ‘Barak’ is a word common among Semitic peoples, with the Arabs being a part of this family of ethnicities.

LOL! ... We have a Winner!

[Paperdoll]

It’s just a matter of time.

[Truth is a Weapon]

I predict the name Barak will go down the same track as Adolf, Judas and Jezebel.

[GCC Catholic]

To the kids named "Barack" around and after the election:

"Tough break, kid. Must be rough bein' named after a complete butthead."

//BTTF II

[G8 Diplomat]

Barak means “blessing” in Arabic and “lightning” in Hebrew (Arabic for lightning is barq).

So no, it’s not just a Muslim name.

[liberateUS]

“Barack” souns like the noise one makes as they are vomiting. The mere mention of the name brings on nausea!

[SnuffaBolshevik]

As any Muslim child will tell you, it's the name of Muhammed’s horse.

Which end?
