Top Alberta Baby Names 2013

[Acey]

I like to think Sons of Anarchy started the Jax craze.

My favourite from the girls list: Calyannabella

Additionally, any time you put two X in sequence in a girl's name, you're going to have a bad time. Lexxie, Alexxia, and Alexxis. Then a rather silly spelling... Aleescia. Ughh.

That's why I got a Vasectomy allready. Can't be stuck into doing that.

My wife thought that because me and her both have the same letter to our names that the kids should have be same first letter.

I know a Cinnamon. She's with Invesco. Maybe you've heard of her.

Also worth noting that there is a really well designed App for Alberta baby names. Shows graphs going back to 1980 of the popularity of each name, etc.

I forgot about her, but on Twitter when Bunk had his child people in the mayors office were giving him the gears calling her Cinnamon. I was just reprising the joke.

Whiskeyjack will be ok. I'm sure Troutman and his wife will be fine parents.

Hey Marchhare, you missed a few:
There was one each of Osha and Tyrion

Imagine a group of twenty kids in a circle surrounding a bully while he beats the tar out of your son. The crowd is chanting "Weeeeeeentworth, Weeeeeeentworth, Weeeeeeentworth..." while your son contemplates that his life is ruined because his parents gave him a name from the nineteenth century.

All things to consider.

[troutman]

A fellow from my high school changed his name to Diego Diablo Del Mar, for his acting career. I call him Glenn.

[troutman]

I'm getting a foursome together for Augusta.

Plus, he has his animal rescue badge already.

my schizophrenic great uncle changed his name to Baron von Richthofen. Very colourful guy.

What'd you do yesterday?

I got a hole in one on Augusta.
I sunk a putt on the back nine at Augusta.

Augusta has some really bushy rough today...or, Augusta has a nice smooth fairway today...these pretty much write themselves.

I think the vaccine is a small dose of arsenic administered to the parents? However, I doubt the province has enough stock to do them all at once...

There are 11 babies in Alberta crawling around with the name Kashton in 2013. WTF is a Kashton?

It is a unit of measurement that refers to the amount a pot the parents smoked while they conceived.

As in, "Dude, we just smoked a kashton of pineapple express, lets do it on the roof of your parents shed"

My kids names aren't unique at all, so clearly I don't really understand the desire to give a rare name. Did anybody grow up with a common name and hate it? I always thought it was more cool than annoying when I ran into somebody with my name. My wife meanwhile was named after a transient hippie, so she's spent 50% of her life giving coffee baristas a fake name so she doesn't have to spell it out using the NATO phonetic alphabet.
