Whatever happened to good Christian names like Latrina, Toyletta, Beedetta?

Or Hedda, Kaibeau, Jayjonna?

My Daughter and Son-in-law, named my first grandson, Thorne.

Not a bad name but what is wrong with the old standbys such a James, William, Joe, David etc.?

Why do they all have to sound like characters on some soap opera?

Quashod? Sounds like a word meaning "wearing four shoes".

That's hilarious.

Monica has dropped off the charts.

She's been replaced by Gonoria.

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?

The newspaper in Austin or San Marcos (one of the places I lived) used to run birth announcements.

This is sadly accurate, except I don't see Braeden/Brayden on this list.

It's all Caden/Aden/Jaden/Brayden/Logan now...

The shift in the choice of boys' names is really quite notable.

No this tells me that it is WOMEN who would go to a "Favorite Baby Names" web site. These are definitely dumb-sissy names that mothers are always proposing. Fortunately there are Dads who remember that boys named "Caleb" were teased on the playground when they were kids. The Dads usually step in and put their foot down before their wives can hang a name like "Brieze" on their son.

Let's see a sampling of birth certificates. That will tell us what the popular names are, and I predict Mark, Mike John, Bob and Dave are still on the top 20 list.

If you are Italian, those names should be spelled Orangialo and Lemongialo.

I used to know a girl whose last name was Rape. I also had a cousin by marriage whose last name was Raper.

I know I would change it a little if those were mine. Maybe Rapier.
