Top Baby Names


These are the top male and female names for 2009. I was pretty happy to see that everyone on both lists is pretty traditional and not influence by popular culture like I thought it would be. I figured Miley and Lyndsey would be near the top since alot of mother drink.

Katie just reminded me and I totally missed that that Jacoba and Isabella are from that stupid 'Twilight' series. Now everything sucks again. Parents should have their babies taken away.

Now my name - has remained in the lower top 200(???) for the past decade. That's fine. I don't want to be like anyone else. You know I have never ever taught a CALVIN or even knew a student with that name. Though I did teach a Peter Parker but he got tired of having me ask him to make with the webs and climb the wall.

In the past 50 years the closest to the top my name ever got was 153. So. I don't need America telling me that my name is not popular. I am going to call you 'Poopy Pants Country To The South Of Canada' form now on. So there!

Plus I am still bitter that they made custom license plates for our bikes with most every name on them but mine. They have a Beatrice and a Hazel but never a Calvin.

Although, and it's sad that I know this, it could be said that Jacob and Isabella are being ripped right out of the Twilight books by dopey young mothers with jailbait crushes on fictional people.

Damn! My name (Rodney) was ranked 495th last year and hasn't been higher than 342 in the past 10 years. Talk about freakin' unique. Nobody wants to name their kid after me!

Which I guess I can understand, really.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I never thought of that. Damn. Can't they just name their kids without being under the smell of that garbage. Why not just name your kid Sparkle or Werewolf or girl with an abusive boyfriend

I think I have told you this, but my brother and his wife were gonna name their kid Calvin, had it been a boy.

Calvin makes a lovely girl's name too.

Megan said...

Looks like I have finally dropped out of the top 100 for the first time in a while. Good.

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

YEH, you tell them Megan. Nobody puts Baby in a corner!

California Keys said...

Wait a minute.... I've come in second to Jacob for the past few years... Now I'm behind Ethan? What the hell?

Just another way that the 'man' oppresses you and keeps you down.
