Looks like the asians are the only ones left with any sense!

Austin? Dakota? What's next - naming your kid Chicago or New Mexico? And Brianna - isn't that some sort of food group? And Propecia... gall stone medicine, isn't it?

Looks like the whole country has gone light in the loafers.

"Austin" is now a very popular name for white boys.

BTW, I don't think these names are necessarily "bad" names, but, times have changed. That is my point. I doubt I will ever meet a little girl in school named "Shirley" or "Hazel" or even "Donna."

BTW, Alec Baldwin's daughter is named "Ireland." IMO, nothing wrong with that. And, since he and his former wife used that name, I expect I will eventually start seeing other "Irelands" in the schools. But not, for example, "Mary Ann" (unless it's an Asian student).

Brianna is either a name Stevie Nicks named herself or her kid or is a fictional name in one of her songs. Or it might be a goat cheese with a twist?

Knew a family who had the custom of naming the children for where ever they were born, Their youngest was born in Las Vegas, (no, they did not name him that although they admitted they thought about Vegas if he had been a girl, ) they named him Nevada.
