I thought it was weird that "Nina May" from earlier in the thread didn't pronounce her name normally: "NEE-nah" 8/1/2014 9:06:20 PM |

Can't explain it but the name did get passed down to a cousin. She however got the normal "Nee-nah" pronunciation.

Welp, my white trash cousin was married to a guy named Copper. His brother is Iron. They are both in jail. She proceeded to have 3 more kids with 3 other guys (we as taxpayers are paying for them). 8/2/2014 10:19:35 AM |

this may have been posted in here already, but i'm super annoyed with the trend of names being some word or name spelled backward. like nevaeh (heaven), rehtaeh (heather), traeh (heart), etc. 10/1/2014 10:17:07 AM |

Upper middle class white people are getting fucking retarded with the names they're giving their kids.
I looked at my daughter's class roster recently.
Savannah, Ava, Madison, Carson, McKenzie, Finley, Mallory, Callum, Anderson, Archer, and more that i can't think of right now.
I knew one Madison growing up and a Carson, but the rest of them are just parents trying too hard to be 'unique.' In general, I can tell by a kid's name how much of a douche/cunt the parents are.
There's one Nathan, a Katie, and then my kid's Amy. And we named our son Ryan. 10/1/2014 12:29:26 PM |

Growing up (born '82) I had classmates with 6 of those names, they don't seem that weird to me (Madison, Carson, McKenzie, Mallory, Anderson, and Archer (Archer may have been a nickname)) 10/1/2014 1:15:31 PM |

There used to be one or two Ava-types in a class of Stephanies/Lauras/Jennifers, etc...
Now you're the unique one with a simple Amy. At least your daughter's class features proper spelling and actual names. She could be in with some Kaydens, Mckynzies, and Madysens.
And I long for the days of RaShonda and LaTonya...anybody who had a problem with those should feel pretty stupid right about now. 10/3/2014 6:39:05 AM |

Aside from Mia and Ava, the rest are classical/stereotypical (historically popular and NOT new at all)) White Western girls' names. I don't see the problem there....

^ pronounced kirsten?
also, i don't understand the hate (or distaste or whatever) for names that are actually names (historically, anyway) that are also spelled "normally"
for example, callum is an old gaelic name...you don't have to like it, but it's not like someone just put a bunch of letters together and called it a name...
...though i suppose anything can be a name, so it's kind of silly to think one string of letters is any different than another string of letters (assuming you didn't name your kid "toaster" or something) 10/8/2014 1:08:42 PM |

what exactly is booming here? Ava has consistently been one of the top girls names (what i said) over the past half decade or longer, which is exactly what your list shows.
