Thanks for this.
hi,you can find a numerous of baby names in the below list... check it..
Popular Baby Names
I work in labor and delivery at redacted, in the city of redacted. If you could READ our birth register, you would no doubt vomit copious amounts of Kaylin, Kaelyin, Kylynn, Rylin, Riley, Rhylee, Kyleee, Cadence (seriously people, as in, I don't know but I've been toooold, eskimo....), Kaydance, Bryson, Jaden, Brayden, Jalen (as in, to jail?!), Baylin (as in to get the aforementioned convicted out of said jail), Trace (as in evidence), Jace, Anzlee, Mailin, Failin, Stylin, and Profilin. Whatever. I'm always, so, what's the baby's name? Let me guess, it starts with a J? No? A K? It ends with some derivative of -en? Am I right? And of course we always have at least one of our ever popular, ubiquitous, cracked out Nevaeh. I could close my eyes and spin in the nursery, and my pointed finger would have an 8 in 10 chance of landing on a Jaden Brycin Maddissyn Kloyee Rylen Ne'Vaeh Ahliveea Cadence McSomebodyoranother Graylyn. Swear.to.God.

Would you ever name your child Erkin Bekbolotov?
Have you tried using a computer software to find those perfect names for you baby? You can just type in whatever letters you want in it, helps a bundle. I haven't bought one yet but my friend directed me to www.boygirlbabynames.com ... she says it helped her a bunch. Good luck!
I'm sorry, But anyone can make fun of things, it's not a talent, and I guess i am kind of bored with it-you have a right to your opinion and I've got mine.....you know what they say-those who can, do, and those who can't -criticize....you may be unitizing your opinion, but remember there are Divisions in unity. overall your must realize in the end it's meaningless... people don't listen to self-appointed dictators (No offense) well except maybe other self-appointed dictators-oh no a gang of dictators-hmm tator tots
sorry got sidetracted. names, are just made up anyway... want a debate sometime?
Taban means "sole" (as in foot sole) in Croatian.
This site has some great names and ideas! I totally know what I'm naming my kid:
LaKaytoneileighdreyjeyneavteahsendenMcbryKennedylynn-

Thank you!

O.K., that mockery might've been a bit superfluous.

My head is whirling. No comments, except that "oh so cute" baby boy name Bansi...my first try to pronounce it produced Banshee O_o. The only time the poor kid would fit in the crowd would be Halloween.
maybe Shiva is good name for your sister
shreya,swati,heena,hiral,gargi,gira,shivani are good names for your sweety...
I don't think anyone here in Canada will be naming their baby "Harper", even those few of us who actually like our prime minister.
Also, "Jafarie"? Is that when Jafar from Aladdin goes on safari?
I would like to suggest some more baby names, check unique baby names and more .. here..

These list are very unique, and quite strange. Picking baby names sure is fun!

Nice Article, I like it.
Free information for every mother about taking care of baby and child.
All about Mothers, Babies and Children (MothersMustKnow.Com)
You can also find the meaning of the names given above.
Paisley. Essex. I cannot with these place names have these people even been there.
Just NO.
Nice article .
get more info here : http://news-babies.blogspot.com/
I really don't like the name Nevaeh. I think if you want to name your daughter Heaven, you should just do it. Nevaeh is hard to pronounce, and it just looks tacky. I hope it doesn't become super trendy.
But I LOVE the name Harper. It's so pretty and feminine. And not too common. There should be more Harpers, it's a great name.

I've never known anyone to share my weird baby name fetish ... O_O
I'm not a mommy, nor do I plan on becoming one any time soon, but have been obsessed with names and their origins for as long as I can remember. Ohhhh, if you could only see my 'favorite names' list from age thirteen .... o_0 you would have a ball!
Perhaps even with some of the current ones?!
Anyway, this blog goes great with my morning cup of coffee!
As for the haters ... they really should learn to take themselves a little less seriously. It's soooo pointless to be easily offended in life, especially on the internet!
I had such a great time reading this blog today, I laughed so hard that I almost wet my pants multiple times (hey, I´m pregnant...). I have a lot of fun on babycenter.com laughing at goofy names, I think you would get a kick out this thread, read all of it, seriously, it´s worth.

I hope you take your writing up again, too funny.
Karin: it is a name specially for women but in some countries of latin american they use it for men
Jazmin: it is the same
Joseph: Also ti is the same with this name.

You made my day, Turabian. I am greatly looking forward to reading more.
Your list of names is quite unique to say the least. I liked the listings of names.
Stuart
What a funny post!! Enjoyed this immensely.
Stuart
Anyone seen Ballin?
Great hilarious post!! Very nice.
Stuart
Ritcher & Evangeline are the names that are quite popular and are not that bad.
There are like Bad Baby Names Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback which are popular as Bad baby name all around the globe.
oh come on guys, the whole blog is hilarious. I could be offended at your vehement dislike of "Maddies" since I have one, but I'm not. There are so many idiots out there who dont think about the obvious fact that their poor kids will have to live with the names they pick for the rest of their life, or at least until age 18. Keep up the good work!
I am Lakota.
I FREAKING HATE PEOPLE THAT NAME THEIR KIDS DAKOTA.
It's a Nation, people.. it's like naming your kid "England" or "France".
It's NOT cute.
On the other hand, if we have a girl Evangeline is what we'll call her. I realize it's starting to get popular, but it's been a name I've liked since I was a kid.
I wish these crazy people could just
1. write some horrid sci-fi fantasy future alien stories
2. adopt a few litters of kittens
3. work for a city-planning committee
so that these names could go to something (fictional characters/animals/street names) other than baby humans which grow up to be ACTUAL PEOPLE.
I can't wait to have children so I can give them NORMAL names. Although maybe in a few years nice, normal names will seem weird amongst all the Huckleberrys, Braxtons, and Larkins. And yes, I do know actual children with these names.
What an interesting post!! Some of these names are so cool but very different!!
Stuart
Oh, how I love you and your blog.
"Alexander is actually a unisex name" NO
LOL.
Along with the joy your own writing brings, I'm always amused to see the inevitable weirdly structured/poorly spelled/semi-literate howl in the comments from someone about how very horrible it is to comment on a child's name - invariably the relative of a Jaileb and Ass-lynne.
(One last thing - dead-set, braxton? Braxton?? The woman has given BIRTH, you can't tell me she DOESN'T KNOW about braxton-hicks contractions!? Why-dear-god-why would you name your kid (boy or girl, call it Braxtyn for the true ambi-genderal effect) after FALSE CONTRACTIONS OF THE UTERUS??)
Urh. I'm suddenly tired.
Ps to the mother of a Maddie, I'd have a properly spelled "common" name over a uniquely treasureful monstrosity any. day. Your kid being Sophie P or Jack M doesn't mean they're not "special" for the love of sanity, it means they have a popular name that's more likely to have a positive association when people hear it than poor wee Mykenzysen will.
Actually now I've re-read your post I realise you didn't mention Braxton - SO LET ME ANNOUNCE THAT ON ANOTHER BABY NAME ATROCITY SITE (I happen to be flicking between several), SOME GORMLESS PRAT NAMED THEIR CHILD BRAXTON.
Actually I'd say many gormless prats... What's the bet there are a couple of Placentas or Epidurals to go with?
I would suggest anyone thinking of using a ghetto name first consult FREAKONOMICS by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. It gives a valuable insight into the effects of naming conventions.
