Jacob overtakes Jose as most popular boy's name in Texas. Also receiving votes: Divinefavour, JesusNazaret and King-David, Baby Boy, Clever, Handsome, Sir Genius, Memphiz and Tuff. Sadly, I'm not joking

out of all of those, I feel the most sorry for Tuff.
Because you know he's going to get into fights his entire life when people try to see if he's actually tuff.

Maybe his old man wasn't going to be around, so he gave his son that name and said 'Goodbye' knowing he'd have to get tough or die.

FTA: "One girl each received these names: Amazing-Grace, A'Miracle, Apple, Babygirl, Beyonce, Dae'Gorgeous, Elektra, Forever, Gorgeousg'zaiya, Myranique, Paisley-Ann, Passion, Praisegod and Radiance.
Some of the more creative boy names appeared inspired by faith: Divinefavour, Ezra-Nehemiah, Godswill, Goodness, JesusNazaret and King-David. Other little guys were dubbed Baby Boy, Clever, Handsome, Sir Genius, Memphiz and Tuff. In true Texas flair, one boy was named Stetson and another's first name: Dallas Cowboys."

I have a deal with my wife. I'll only agree to kids if I get to name 'em, no questions asked. She said fine. Then I told her that the first three would be Optimus, Robocop and Batman.
"What if they're girls?" she asked.
"Those ARE the girls," I said.
So, yeah. No kids yet.

The most creative name I've heard recently was pronounced "LaDasha". Doesn't actually sound that strange, for an black kid's name from the inner city. The awesome comes in the spelling. The kid's name is officially spelled: "La-a"

I think the worse name you could call your baby girl is "Britney".

I once worked with a "Sir King"... years later, after I'd graduated college and left that job, I returned to do some shopping. It was very odd to being telling "Sir King" that I wanted paper, not plastic. I'm not exactly sure what his parents had in mind with that monicker.
