We have plenty of Saints’ names available.

On another topic, I know a man named Perfecto. I was writing a short bio of him for inclusion in a dinner program where he was to be a featured speaker. I asked him his middle name, or middle initial.

“I have no middle name, thank God. My mother might have made it Jesus!”

I laughed and asked him if he’d had a hard time in school living up to the name Perfecto. He said tha he didn’t regret it at all. Much of his business success had been in sales, and he said that nobody EVER forgot his name.

Over in France and much of Europe a top baby name is not Messiah, but....

Mohammed.

Just a matter of time before this name makes the top ten here in the US.

I have an acquaintance who named her children Sean, Ian, John and Nora. I pointed out to her grandmother that Sean, Ian, and John all are iterations of John. Didnt seem to matter. I don’t know how Nora didn’t get named Jeanne.

According to the list, the fastest rising name for girls is Arya—possibly inspired by the popular character Arya Stark from HBO's Game of Thrones...

'Arya' means 'noble' / 'civilised' in Sanskrit. A daring name for all the negative racial connotations associated with it.

A lot of the ah “ethnic” girls here in metropolis cities in TX are named “Female”.
Pronounced: Fe-mal-e

No joke, the ISD admin head pointed out how many were named this very thing....
Guess the race.

Real name:

La-a

(pronounced: Luh-DASH-uh)

Yep, I think a friend of my husband who is a pediatrician has run across this one. Mom was upset that no one knew how to pronounce it.

In infantry training right after USMC boot camp, one of our instructors was a black E-4 named "General James", so he was Corporal General James.

Right before we finished up, he got drunk and into some sort of trouble and got busted to E-1......so the last we heard of him, he was Private General James.
