Thatcher, Yates, Yardley. I suppose these are “power” names for the 21st century.

They sound like power names for Victorian England.

I don’t KNOW if this is the case with her- but in my family over the generations some have used family names, i.e. last names, as first. Thatcher and Yates could both be old family names.

Are there a lot of boys being named Baraq around the world these days? I would think such an enormously popular leader would inspire the teeming masses to preserve his memory via their offspring....
