My bestie named her son Jasper. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 30, 14:36 2
- me too, actually, but he's like 9 now (ahead of the curve!). I'm mildly irritated that her other son is Micah, and I really like that name. - mafic Nov 30, 16:51
- Middle name Beardly? -- nm* - Krusty Nov 30, 14:41
that one is based on page views, so not the same as the census lists. -- nm - b., merry and bright Nov 30, 14:24 1
- census, b.? social security administration. -- nm - b., merry and bright Nov 30, 14:26
"Nameberry’s popular names list measures which names attract the largest share of our nearly 250 million page views" -- nm - mara Nov 30, 14:24 1
- Which actually is kind of an interesting metric. But it indicates interest in the name, not popularity. -- nm - mara Nov 30, 14:28
The #1 name for boys is Atticus? I call Elves. -- nm - Andie Nov 30, 14:23 8
- Here's the Chicago Tribune saying we might not see that name anymore (from 2 years ago) -- (link) - Flavorize Nov 30, 14:26 5
  - Summary:It's about naming after celebrities (and their kids) -It's also joined with racism/racists now.>--My takeaway--makes sense it's #1 from all this B.S. this year -- nm* - Flavorize Nov 30, 14:29 4
    - I don't think that's quite what they said - it's based on Harper Lee's other book, which way way way way fewer people have or will read. - b., merry and bright Nov 30, 14:32 3
      - Yeah--probably right. Everyone's read To Kill A Mockingbird--and the article is written to slam the new book...but, the inclusion of Milo on that popular list too... -- (edited) - Flavorize Nov 30, 14:35 2
        
        another one that's had celebs use it - I hope it's that and not jerkdude. -- nm - b., merry and bright Nov 30, 14:37 1
        
        yeah--you're right, definitely celeb based. -- nm - Flavorize Nov 30, 14:38
- The tweet comments suggest this is search result popularity on the site, not necessarily actual naming -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 14:23 1
  - Or just follow the link to the blog post. -- nm - mara Nov 30, 14:24
