No Names

Ummmb...
A list of popular baby names was released recently, and per yoozh (short for "usual", now a longer explanation instead), and two names gained a LOT of popularity.

Miley, for females.
And
Barack, for males.

B'okay.
From the article:
"Baby naming experts said Americans are pulled by sometimes conflicting impulses when choosing names for their children. They gravitate toward the popular, wanting their child to fit in. But many also want their child's name to be unique, so they don't have to share it with four other kids in class at school."

I once took a class at Green River Community College with a woman whose son (his father is African American) was named "Jordan Isaiah." After 2 of the most successful NBA players of all time. Really. That's pressure on the kid. He won't get "there," sorry lady. And now he'll be lugging around as much Name as he is Expectation for his life. But here's to hoping he does turn out a winner.

So it's a tough call, finding a name for a baby that they must be called by the rest of their life, unless they develop some sort of personality to where they change their name and go off-center and go with Sunflower or "The Fudge." People try and find ways to tag their kids with something that sounds strong and cool, but really, it usually comes out a muddled concoction of the parent's narcissism. As long as little Pitt Kanye Lott loves his mum and dad, we're cool.
