The Tallulah Thread Part 2

Top US names for twins for 2011:

465869-twin-names.jpg


Article here.

And full list here:

http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/twins.html

It includes Heaven & Nevaeh; Haylee & Kaylee; Jayla & Kayla; Mia & Mya; Jayden & Jaylen; Jayden & Kayden; Ayden & Jayden; Jayda & Jayden etc.
 
Wtf are people thinking? I'd want even identical twins to have different enough names so people wouldn't mix that up too. The little girls in the pic are a great example, I'd have Matilda and Emily over Jayden and Jaylen any day.
 
Just looking at the lists, the male/female list is interesting.

Firt place is Madison / Mason and there were FIFTY sets of them! Fifty!
The second place set of Olivia / Owen there was only 18 sets.
 
I agree, they are twins but they need their own identity, you don't call them Heckyll & Jekyll. It might be "cute" when they are babies but they will grow to resent being treated like they are the same person.
 
Had a customer order with the name "Anus Thompson" last night - but then we also had Superman and Blob Marley. But it could have been Angus.

Or it could have really been Anus...
 
we order like "idiot face" but backwards. so "ecaf toidt" but much ruder words, then we giggle in the store...YES WE'RE CHILDISH. gotta have some fun in life ;)


i cant believe the twin thing. especially owen?? i didnt think that was a popular name at all. and then yet again 18 people pick it!! wtf..

im starting to really like the name Sophia, but its now #1 in popularity. maybe by the time i have kids it will be lower down.

it then makes you think of like 30 yr olds named sophia, were their parents supposed to know it would become soo popular?
 
Sophia is much more popular is America than here.

Sophie is more popular here.
 
I always think of the granny in 'Golden Girls'.
Sophia is common among Italians. I know a Greek Sophia as well.(6 yr old)
I also know an 8 yr old Owen.

I don't know any kids named Anus tho. ;)
Some of their parents should be...
 
I found this article interesting, about naming trends in Cuba:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18270547

Daneisys - A combination of her parents' names, Daniel and Deisy.
Usnavi - US Navy.
Noslenis - Nelson backwards, plus I and S.
Yaniel - They didn't use the letter Y traditionally, so it became popular to include it, eg Yaniel instead of Daniel.
Oldanier - Her father's name, Reinaldo, backwards.
Dayesi - Yes in Russian (da), English (yes) and Spanish (si).
Meylin - A brand of canned meat.

well they stuffed up there, didn't they!

why would you want to name your child after a brand of canned meat?
 
From facebook - Starzi

And from That's Life magazine - Tinkabell
 
Just saw an ad for The Shire, one girl is called Vernessa which I think I heard pronounced Vanessa.

Saw another ad. There's also a Beckaa. Pffft.


Just watching a (probably old) season premiere of US ANTM and there's a girl called Spontaniouse. Lol. (I know how to spell Spontaneous, she doesn't)

Also funny article about names

There's a bizarre assumption that if you can make your child's name unique, the child will be unique. And that's NEVER the case. Chances are, if you name your kid Braxlee, he or she is gonna end up bent over the sink in the back of a TGI Friday's, offering tail in exchange for a better skim off the tip pool.

BOYS

• Adler

• Attyson

• Bastian

• Blayde The extra Y in there makes it 10 percent sharper. And don't fuck with Blayde's brother, Nyfe.

• Chesney

• Draven Please note that if you name your baby Draven, you must dress him up like the Crow at all times.

• Diesel

• Izander "I'd like my son to sound like a shirt. Can you do that?"

• Jaydien That's right. JaydIen. Don't forget that I. That I is what sets young Jaydien apart from the mere Jaydens of the world. Now don't you people who named your kid Jayden feel behind the times? You bought the beta version of that name. It's like buying an iPad too early. Six years from now, the name will have morphed into Jayydizzosoian, and then you'll really feel like a sucker.

• Kierson Straight from the "Invented Irish name for Boston-area steakheads" file

• Ryker

• Sincere

• Sketch If you name your child Sketch, you should be arrested. At that point, you're just basically looking around the delivery room, coming up with nouns as names. "Oh, fuck it. Call him Monitor."

• Tulsa If you're gonna name your kid after a place, at least have the common courtesy to name him after a legitimate tourist destination. No one wants to hang out with a kid named Tulsa, or a kid named Kalamazoo. Ol' Kal. Always gettin' in trouble.

• Tyce Fuck you.

• Zaiden Of course Zaiden is here. It takes Jayden and throws a Z in front, which makes it SO STRONG. God, I just wanna slap a loincloth on little Zaiden and club dragons with him. Be on the lookout for Drayden, Fayden, Waiden, Strayden, and Klayden coming to your hood.

• Zebulon Classic hillbilly, with the bonus of sounding like a cartoon alien planet.

Those are the boys. For the girls... God, I'm so sorry for you, little princesses. Here is what your meth-addled mothers cooked up for you:

GIRLS

• Annyston Joined by brother Schwymmir

• Brook'Lynn The abuse of apostrophes in names has to end. A reasonable person should be able to know, by looking at a name, when one syllable ends and another begins. But no, dumbfucks all over the country have to be like "I'll name him Raw'Bert." You stop that. Give me some credit for being able to read even if you can't.

• Brylee Isn't this an ice cream brand? It should be an ice cream brand.

• Copelia It's a ballet about a mechanical love doll, only spelled wrong.

• Cortlyn

• Fallyn "I'd like my daughter to sound like a dystopian young adult novel, please."

• Harvest You know what people will Harvest from your daughter? Her V-card.

• Jerrika You know what comes next, right? You guessed it: ZERRIKA. You will meet a Zerrika one day, and then you won't know what to do with yourself.

• Joplyn

• Julissa Classic hybrid name. It joins the likes of Emichelle, Eliza'Betty, and Jessikate.

• Luxx Why not add that third x and fulfill her destiny? That's what you want, right? You want little Luxx to grow up, move to the Valley and earn $60 a week getting jet spraykakke'd for a series of Brazzers short films, yes? There's no other reason to name your child Luxx.

• Mahayla

• Midnight

• Sharpay This is a character from High School Musical. It's also a breed of dog. Why stop there? Name your child Dobyrman.

• Tayzia

• Tybee Seriously, fuck you. Unless you want your kid to grow up to become a made-for-TV cooking product, piss off with Tybee.

• Xylethia

• Yankee And... the final insult.

As I said before, this is merely a sampling. There are so many more horrible names on the list: Trust, Wellen, Kayson, Stormy, Mayson, Kayleen—it goes on and on and on. I wish I could tell you there's an end to this, that writing your local Congressman to draft laws preventing this kind of child abuse from happening would do the trick. But I can't. It won't. Our fate is sealed, not unlike that of poor Luxx. Luxxx. Luxxxx'Ann. God help us all.
 
Oh dear lord - Aniston & Schiwmmer? As in Jennifer and David from Friends!?

I also caught Spontan......whatever on ANTM the other night but kept just missing it so I could not figure out what the hell it was. I am impressed though.
 
Just having a flick through tomorrow's Sunday Times which just got delivered, and on the back of the Home liftout is a furniture designer - Sean Dix.
