A list of names that are spelled correctly and don't sound like they pulled three syllables out of a hat?  As an American, that's very strange.

I'm happy that I live in a country that has a book of legal names.

People can still fark up as loser names are still legal, which is a handy way to instantly place people in a box.

So Tikka sounds like a food when he/she/it says the full name.

Nice.

I'll be glad to see us move on from the trend of middle- and upper-middle class white people naming their kids things like Cooper, Tanner, Carter, Mason, or any other manual-labor profession that they themselves would never stoop to performing nor countenance their own children doing.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but the last line of the only article that states this is, "In order to avoid stereotypical judgement about her name, the parents will be referring to their daughter by her middle name Melania. "

A girl I dated in grad school had a sister with 3 boys whose names were each the most popular name in their birth year. She also had a brother who had a girl and a boy, also with names that were the most popular in their birth year.

Not a lot of creativity in that family.

Think of the pain Frank's kids went through. Do you realize how hard it is to find a bicycle license plate with Dweezil or Moon Unit on it? I truly understand. My name is Stephen, not Steven, nor Steve. My mom was pissed that she could never find anything with my name on it.

I met a kid named Keanu a couple of years back.

I kind of felt bad for him when he told me his name, because he appeared sheepish about sharing it, and I could see that he was bracing for a reaction that must have been all too familiar to him.

If you're looking to get uncomfortable, wait for the Scots names, specially the ones in Gaidhlig.

Did you paint their room light-brown? Then instead of punishing them by sending them to their room, you could say "go to the tan door".

My wife's friend has two daughters. Stella and Blanche. I joked with her once "big Tennessee Williams fan?"
Blank stare. Had no idea what I was talking about.
