Babies names

I think Virlent is nice...

I think Sweezilstick, Ginnugigap, Steroid, and Chuck are great names!

from www.geocities.com...

(I quoted it all as its black text on a a black bakground!!)

One of the most enduring Legends I've come across involves ignorant parents naming their child something ridiculous.

The most popular version of this claims that a woman named her daughter "Female" because that was "the name the hospital gave her." Invariably, female is pronounced "Fuh-mall-ee".

In this legend, words that are bandied about in hospitals are often attached to children because the parent "thought it was a pretty word." Thus, legendary children named Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Urine, and Vagina, spend the rest of their lives trying to live down the name their idiot parent gave them. Is there a kid out there named Syphillis? "We can't tell you," said Thomas Marginaw, Deputy Spokesperson for the Social Security Administration. "We only have a database of last names, so a search for first names would cost the taxpayers too much money." Let's all thank Mr. Marginaw for doing his job so conscientiously.

What about a baby named "Female" ? I thought I'd investigate New York State, to see if this unfortunate name would show up. Tom Smith, a Senior Biostatistician at the New York Bureau of Vital Statistics, sent me a list of every name given to a child in the State of New York during 1994. It was three inches thick.

In this statistical swamp I discovered the most popular girls names for that year. The second most popular was Ashley with 2,151 baby girls registered under that name. What was the most popular? You guessed it... 2,516 girls were named Female.

Are there really that many stupid parents in New York? No, here's the scoop. When a baby is born, the hospital is responsible for filling out the birth certificate. Often parents haven't decided on a first name for their child when it is born. At this point, even though they aren't supposed to, many hospitals put the sex of the baby down on the certificate.

That would also explain the 3,639 boys named "Male" as well. The parents then must change the certificate through the State. Some never do.

Were there any bizarre names in New York in 1994? YES!Weird names for Boys:Abba Abyss

All of you folks out there have been inundating us with strange names since we started Urban Legends. These are just a fraction of the submissions we've received -- Kids Christened with Crazy Names Another Girl Named FEMALE, Crazy Names, An Unfortunate First Name, Variation on Being Born FEMALE, Exotic Names for Infants.

In case you think New York is the only place to have bizarro names, I went to high school with a guy named Carter Nixon. His parents must have been hoping Jimmy Carter would lose.

Finally, believe it or not, there is a race car driver named Dick Trickle. Now that's just sad.

there's a male out there named Knight Sir Lancelot???

That's hilarious

I dont have a clue as I am nowhere near having children.

I just wanted to wish Observer and K_OS a healthy birth for their babies and wives!

For the boys: Tony, David, John, Luke, Han, George.

For the Girls: Mara, Terri, Joan, Morgan, Kelly, Elisabeth.

I like the name Ryan for a boy, and girl too.

We have a 10-month old son - before we knew the gender, if it was a girl, we wanted to name her Francesca. And if our next child, whenever that might be, is a girl we'll probably use that name.

Hey my name's on your list Nans! WOOOT!

Named after some famous nobility that I am directly related to

Funny, I've got a baby due within the next few weeks. We named our first kid Cameron, his mum liked the name and it is also my middle name. Our next child is a boy aswell and his mother has left the name chosing to me. Thing is that I haven't even seriously thought about a name.

I like very gaeilic names like Keal. And some unusual one like Xerxes, But his mother does'nt.

One we can agree on only after much contemplation on my behalf is Joshua. I'm still not sold. Any way the middle name is Xavier.

So, Male Xavier ....... might be it. unless anyone posts a really good one that I like.

Xavier is a cool name Maddas...Xavier Rush by any chance??

And Nans...how come half your names sound like Car Manufacturers or car models???

I forgot MERCEDES ! A few years ago, a french young couple called RENAULT had a process with renault car and the french governement because they wanted to call there daughter Megane (Megane is a car name made by renault). But they win...
In the french version of Absolutely Fabulous, the Serious daughter is caleld Safrane !

For Vel-Satis (Renault concept car) I suspect the designers to have a deal with Satan and Aleister CROWLEY, because crowley wrote AL LIBER AL VEL LEGIS and other books called AL LIBER AL VEL (Crowley's "latin" version for : The Book of The...).

Nah my first son was babtized in The church of Saint Francis Xavier. My girlfriend liked the name, but I guess the renasicence of the name can be attributed to Rush. Simalar is the situation with my name too -Stacy. Stacy Jones. I used to get gibbed at school for having a girls name but now people think is a cool named for a guy.

Me....it's Duncan, after my great grandpa!
