Girl's names

Snerdella

Duzy

Flan

Boy's names

Gonad

Bongo

Nipples the Clown Now those are just some of the very "hep" names that will be sure to embarrass the little boogers .

[Phentex]

19. Duzy would be cute for a girl...

have I been here too long?

"Duzy! You and Elad come to suppah now, ya hear?"

[ConcernedCanuk]

2. HARPER???

.
.
.

geeze

who would want give their child the same name as one of our worst Prime Ministers in history??

Maybe even THE worst . .

Must be another reason - many don't pay much attention to Canada, so may not know.

20+ years from now, a person visiting Canada with a name of Harper is gonna get some really strange reactions methinks.

Not violent, that's not our way,

But strange . . .

3. I have a great granddaughter named Harper.

I doubt if her parents even realize that Canada even has a PM. They just like the name.

However, WTH, Katniss?

[Locut0s]

6. Katniss, hunger games?

I don't know I never read the books but I know they and the movie are freaking crazy popular.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katniss_Everdeen

It's the main thing that comes up on Googling the name.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Ah, you're probably right. I haven't read the books, either.

[PasadenaTrudy]

22. Yep. Hunger Games...

*Shudder*

[PasadenaTrudy]

24. I always see

Katnip when I see that name, lol!

[femmocrat]

16. Maybe she was named after the great writer, Harper Lee.

Atticus is on the boys' list.

Scout, Jem and Boo are up-and-comers!

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Maybe, but I rather doubt it. More likely my granddaughter heard the name on some

MTV reality show and liked it. I thought it was rather unique and I'm surprised that it was on the list.

[Arugula Latte]

26. Dave Beckham & Posh Spice named their girl "Harper"

So that might have something to do with it.

[TeamPooka]

67. The Beckhams named their Harper after a character on a Disney Channel TV show

their other kids liked it so they did it.

[Locut0s]

5. I don't know...

I hope you are right. I wonder sometimes about where we are headed though. Let's hope in 20 years we don't look back and see Harper as the beginning of the end.

[ConcernedCanuk]

7. JFK was the last decent leader of the USA imo

.
.
.

Chretien was ours methinks.

It's been going downhill for both Canada and the USA ever since.

Harper is just speeding up the process.

Not really expecting an upswing in my lifetime anymore.

Sad - we really do have one of nicest countries on Earth,

But governments can ruin that . . .

[handmade34]

11. Harper...

my grandfather's name... he was a twin and his brother was Herbert... both very good men!

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Maybe it's different when it's a last name?

.
.
.

Sure is when it comes to Stevie-baby.

CC

[PasadenaTrudy]

25. At least

it's not HAARPER

[haele]

32. From Harper Lee, the author. She died recently.

There might also be a popular character named Harper in one of the shows the kids watch, but I don't watch TV anymore.

Haele

[UrbScotty]

47. Harper Lee is still alive

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Lee

[haele]

48. My bad- I thought she had passed.

All the retrospect of "To Kill a Mockingbird" last year, I only caught in part and thought it was an "in memorandum".

Haele

[KamaAina]

45. There are a surprisng number of people born in the '80 named Reagan

[ConcernedCanuk]

51. Let's just hope Dubya or GeeDubya or the likes

.
.
.

don't show up on Birth Certificates in the future

but it wouldn't surprise me.

CC

[politicat]

55. For Harper Lee, "To Kill A Mockingbird."

[ConcernedCanuk]

56. I suppose in the USA Harper is not a name that is frowned on.

.
.
.

But think about this - How many in the USA would name their child "Bush"??

Our Harper = your Bush imo.

[Locut0s]

4. Harper?... I... I...

I don't want to live anymore. Where's the cyanide tablets.

I guess I'm thinking Stephen Harper. How is that a girls name anyway? No offence to anyone else named Harper.

PS: Deep offence intended to Stephen Harper.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Harper Lee wrote "To Kill A Mockingbird".

[Locut0s]

10. Why yes you are right...

Never thought of it as a woman's name, glad to be proven wrong. Still can't shake the connection with Stephen though lol.

[raccoon]

12. Her full name was Nelle Harper Lee.

I don't like the name of Harper, especially for a girl.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. Apparently Harper Lee liked it since she dropped the "Nelle" when she wrote her book.

[raccoon]

20. When the novel was finally ready, she opted to use the name "Harper Lee", rather than be

misidentified as "Nellie".

wikipedia says.

[RiffRandell]

13. Both my kids names aren't on the list.

My son is Ian, and my daughter is Evan. If she was a boy we had a different name picked out which is strange considering Evan is usually a boy's name. We liked it as a girl's name.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Recently I've seen girls named Ryan, Charlie and the like.

A lot of names, such as Stacey, used to be boys' names.

And of course Beverley and Leslie.

[femmocrat]

15. Good grief. Where are these names coming from?

What.... no Peeta?

[PasadenaTrudy]

21. Yuppies and Hipsters

I'm still waiting for my name to come into style

[MrScorpio]

23. Time to kill a few mockingbirds nt

[Initech]

28. If any parents name their kid North...

They need to be taken away for a little chat.

[rug]

[Auggie]

42. Hah! How about iKid?

[Art_from_Ark]

50. Good one

[NewJeffCT]

30. This was based on the most viewed names on their website

not an actual count of baby names. (The Social Security Administration has a great list published annually of boy & girl names)

[nomorenomore08]

31. Thanks. I think we were all panicking for a second there.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

34. I keep hoping to see "Amber" back on the top ten list.

[bluedigger]

Deniece and Denephew...

[olddots]

36. where i grew up all the boys were named after saints= Paul , John etc........

saints and virgins what could go wrong ?

[Chan790]

37. I don't suppose you grew up in a small very-Catholic New England town.

It's still that way. I graduated from HS in a class of 44 (Grew up in Hartford, attended co-ed religious preparatory education in the rural suburbs.) and half the women in my class were named Mary- and the other half had very-traditionally Irish-Catholic names like Claire, Caitlin, Siobhan and Shauna.

[olddots]

53. Walpole Mass in the 50s-60s

very catholic but very good people ,my family stuck out like a sore thumb .

[raptor_rider]

38. I named my kids with

Older names. My daughter is the only known Dorothy. Everyone knew her. My boys, Kurt and Bryant. Kurt after my dad, and Bryant, my husband didn't want a jr, so I named him that. It means son of Brian, which, he is!

[Auggie]

39. Django???

[hibbing]

40. hehe

Hey,
My thoughts exactly, I didn't even like the movie!

Peace

[eppur_se_muova]

Reinhardt's nickname "Django", in the Romani language, means "I awake."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Reinhardt

[libodem]

Penelope, Oliver, and Finnagan. Wild?

The way it's pronounced in other languages sounds better than how it's pronouced american style.

[WCGreen]

49. I though my name was fuck face because that is what the guy

60. From "The Hunger Games"

....in case you didn't already know.

[SunSeeker]

61. Katniss sounds WAY too close to cat piss.

Why would anyone name their kid that?

[Gravitycollapse]

62. Katniss is the main protagonist in The Hunger Games.

[SunSeeker]

63. I know. It still sounds like cat piss.

And it will still sound like cat piss long after anyone remembers the Hunger Games. Poor kids.

[TeamPooka]
