Huh, apparently only one other girl in Alberta since 2000 has the same name as my daughter. And we didn't have to name her something ridiculous.

Service Alberta Minister Manmeet Bhullar says that the gesture of naming children after the royal couple is no surprise, especially considering the care William and Kate took in the province, especially in Slave Lake.

I love Manmeat

Most of those are awful, but Doc is a pretty sweet name.

As someone who grew up with the name Jane, which is plain and has no "nicknames"; plus no middle name. I completely understand a parents desire to give their children something that is out of the norm.

I gave my first what I believe is a 'unique' name, though not bizarre. (I hope)
The other two got mainstream names despite their father wanting to name them after Star Trek Next Gen characters.

He escaped "Jean-Luc", but got something very close.

More then I feel bad for some of those people for their terrible names, I feel bad because they were brought into the world by a teenage single mother.
