For a moment this morning, scanning through the birth notices, I both feared and rejoiced. I feared we may have to shut up site because there was a proliferation of normal names appearing one after another. All the Matthews and Jacks and Elizas and Kates. Despite the fear of the end of our amusing distraction, I also rejoiced for all these lucky kids.
But, as you may have predicted, both the fear and the joy were premature, thanks to:
Trae Jaylen and his big brother Koby.
One boy who is going to curse his parents every time he fills out a form is Hunter William Alfred Salvatore Gordon Robert [surname]. Perhaps they realised that Hunter was not the best name to brand him with and so wanted to give him a large number of options to adopt in its place? (However William is out in that regard as it also appears to be the name of both Hunter’s father and older brother.)
Also, there seems to be an increasing number of Brocks appearing on the scene. Now sure, I’m willing to admit it’s probably an actual name, but it just screams soap opera character (and I’ve watched enough that I ought to know, sadly) or adopted porn name to me.
Another trend noticed: the increasingly common and what I assume is CSI-influenced spelling of Jorja.
