2019 so far

Elizabeth is still on the list. Isabella (in various spellings) is another. People still like to name their babies after queens. Not sure why Sarah disappeared. That had a lot of popularity starting in the 90's. Some other historical names on the 2019 list: Genevieve, Ophelia, and Ada.

Hi Rogue,

Re: Baby names now and in year 1200

Alex, I'll take Baby Names for $200.

I find it always interesting to see how parents handicap their children.

If you despise it: there's nothing keeping you from changing it... :D

Perhaps "Thor" fits you better... :2thumbs:

[Chupaca]

You can change it or in my case I have any of three to pick from.... go by my given name, my middle name or my Hebrew name...The given name is not bad though the reason for it is both confusing and strange...:roflblack:

I'll answer to anything: just don't call be Late for Dinner! :roflblack:

Hi Bob,

You are correct; except there is so much paperwork, pensions, etc in the original name.

I should have done it back when I was a teenager; C'est la vie.

Talk about handicapping your children. I have a friend named Russell Case. He goes by, Rusty Case. He named his son, Justin Case. I'm not making this up.:dontknow:

Went to High School with a girl named Dusty Rhodes. Had a neighbor girl named Amber Grey (two colors). Have a friend now here in Arizona (we are in our 70s) named Sterling Silver. Sometimes people get creative I guess..... Jim

Hi Jim,

Re: Sometimes people get creative I guess.....

And who can forget Ima: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ima_Hogg

Some screw ball named his two daughters Yura & Ima. Their last names were Whor. Their names, of all things, were actually in the phone book. Two more sisters were named the same however their last name was Hogg. Some parents should just be shot.......with rock salt of course.

Hi 2dogs,

Re: Two more sisters were named the same however their last name was Hogg.

Sorry, urban legend; from Wiki: Although it was rumored that Hogg had a sister named "Ura Hogg", she had only brothers.

Jerry Baumchen

[2dogs]

So the brothers were Hoggs too? Children can be cruel when making sport of their counterpart's names, however when adults do it, it's unforgiveable. I still think parents who saddle their offspring with names that are inappropriate should have rock salt administered at 900 ft. per. sec.
By the way, as you know, Wiki can be edited by anyone.

[ARtraveler]

And then there was the "Boy Named Sue."

Hi 2dogs,

Re: Wiki can be edited by anyone.

OK, try this: http://www.famoustexans.com/imahogg.htm

PS) I think that it is called research.

[2dogs]

Well yea, like they said, if it's on the internet it must be true. Went to high school with a couple of Hogg sisters however their names were not Ura and Ima. Thanks God their parents had better sense.
