Anything ending with the letter 'N' seems to be popular. Not sure why.

How did the crowd react to the custom name at the gender reveal party?



Making assumptions. Me not naming my son something crazy has nothing to do with me not judging someone because of their name. Like I told the other guy, learn how to be an adult.

Same here. No reason to saddle a kid with something weird because of parental narcissism.

Have you not seen some of the honkey names from the Bible, or the late 1800s and shite? This isnt really something new. There is waves of crazy names, then it will go traditional, then back to crazy

Are we talking about Grayson


WTF is wrong with Grayson, m'fer?

Wait I didn't realize how popular it had become. It was 333 on the list in 1999. Didn't realize I was such a trendsetter.

Definitely has a Pressleigh and Jaxsyn at home.

I think SFP said in another thread he flat out asks clients if they spell it "traditional or weird."

Every time this thread happens it's ridiculous. A bunch of Codys, Justins, and Brandons making fun of names that won't be ridiculous by the time these kids are adults either.

Cody-Comes from Old Gaelic, and also the last name of one of the most famous Americans when the country was young

Justin-Old fricking name that comes from Latin


Brandon- Also an Old Celtic name

In the mid 80's there was a wave of girls named after the popular porn stars of the day.

No, it definitely is.

It's like people watching, but easier.

But what is the deal with this generation of white people today?


It's not necessarily a new thing.

I had a great-grandfather named Wheeler. I always though it was a kinda odd name.

I like the classical names. Luckily my wife agreed with me.

The late 1800s to early 1900s was full of wild arse names for white people

I put in that Southwest kid's name into the name link. It showed "Abcde" hit its peak in 2010 with 30 people. I was surprised to see the number that high.
