two reasons to appreciate travel ball names:

1) I can instantly tell whose parents are trashy
2) they make normal names appear to be much cooler than they are

And for girls, dance teams. Seriously, I was at the Pels game on Tuesday and while the Pelicans Dance Team did a routine, the big screen had a loop video with all dance team members pictures and their names. They were so bad I just went and looked them up again. They include:

Bailey, Cailyn, Caitlyn, Chauncey, Destiny, Harley Rae, Jordan, Kaira, Kaitlyn, Kennedy, Krystal, Macey, MADISYN, Re'Jon, and Rian.

shite, my first name is a member of Jesus’ disciple, and my middle name is David, GOAT king of Israel.

Is your name Hebrew? Or do you mean the root of your name is the name of a member of Jesus' disciples?

If it's just the root, you don't win anything because I'm in the same boat.

You're close, but "bourgeoisie"(middle class) is a looked down upon class in many instances. They are not trying to look middle class, they are middle class. They are trying to appear to be upper middle class and failing miserably.

"John" is classic and never dated.

John and Elizabeth for my two. Put me down in the group that cared how it appeared on a resume as a deciding factor. Middle names are from grandparents and are also normal

It's the English version of the Hebrew name Yohanan. Looks like the English version may have not been used until around 1100 AD.

Name frequency changes constantly and new names are always being generated- since forever.

Jason was the Jaxon of 40yrs ago, etc., etc.

Simple stuff. Get over it.

No. Jason is a biblical name.
