I remember reading a few years back that a couple in northern Alberta named their son "Duramax".
Some people name their children after the place they were conceived... why not name the child after the product that could have saved them from the child in the first place.

White 30-40 something professionals in Calgary are the worst for pretentious, ridiculous kid names. These are some of the names I've heard from people I know:
Paxton
Jaxon
Huntington
Dresden
Stockwell
Chalmers
Boynton
Thadeus
Atticus
Brixton
I'm sorry but seeing a little snot nosed runt with a dump in his pants respond to the ridiculous name Chalmers is just unintentionally hilarious.
Nothing says to the world you're a sophisticated intellectual titan more than naming your kids after characters in the only books of literature you ever read because you were forced to for high school English class!
I believe it is cousins of my wife that had an agreement that the husband would name any boys they had, and the wife would name any girls. It turned out, they had two boys, named Maximus and Rambo.

Reminds me of a guy I knew named Barry Bunch. His was completely an accident though. His birth mother named him Barry, and later put him up for adoption and the family that picked him up had the last name Bunch.

And that's the way
He became THE
Barry Bunch!

Should be a few hundred little boys named "Jaxon" over the past few years too.
Even worse is Neveah - not QUITE heaven backwards.
Lots of people put a lot of thought (and research) into names and naming. Nevaeh and "unique" spellings like Jaxon or names with several Ys often have pretty negative connotations, and I feel a bit for those kids.
I actually do like Atticus - even if you did have to read TKAM in high school, it has a positive message and the character is worthy of being a namesake. It's been popular in the hipster demographic for a few years and may be migrating more mainstream. I had a friend use it as a middle.
