These are the top male and female names for 2009. I was pretty happy to see that everyone on both lists is pretty traditional and not influence by popular culture like I thought it would be. I figured Miley and Lyndsey would be near the top since alot of mother drink.
Katie just reminded me and I totally missed that that Jacoba and Isabella are from that stupid 'Twilight' series. Now everything sucks again. Parents should have their babies taken away.
Now my name - has remained in the lower top 200(???) for the past decade. That's fine. I don't want to be like anyone else. You know I have never ever taught a CALVIN or even knew a student with that name. Though I did teach a Peter Parker but he got tired of having me ask him to make with the webs and climb the wall.
In the past 50 years the closest to the top my name ever got was 153. So. I don't need America telling me that my name is not popular. I am going to call you 'Poopy Pants Country To The South Of Canada' form now on. So there!
Plus I am still bitter that they made custom license plates for our bikes with most every name on them but mine. They have a Beatrice and a Hazel but never a Calvin.
