It's that time again! List of babies born in Feb at my local hospital

[Fishpond]

Think I'll do this for every month, quite fun for me to see the patterns and the slightly silly names, plus it assures me each month that no one has the name I have picked out for DC1 due in the summer

Last month the girls definitely had the more "oddball" names but there weren't too many crazy offerings. This month is a different story!!

Sorry to drip feed - forgot the explanation for those who may not have seen the December and January threads.

I live in the middle of the US somewhere in a community of roughly 100k. Haven't listed babies' middle names for discretion, although they are available. The parents have agreed to the babies being listed on the public website, they can opt out if they choose and obviously then I wouldn't be able to see the names, so the ones you see are the ones who have agreed.

My DS's name hasn't appeared once on mn and i doubt it ever will!

I'm still trying to work past Braxton.

Thanks Fishpond, very interesting :)

Wow, some of those are interesting, i thought it had to be American, as soon as i read Bentley.

I love that someone called their son Atreyu

Why do Yanks love calling their girls Kennedy? I even know a Kinnidie. Outrageous.

Paizley - ouch.

My cousin has a Danica. I thought she'd made it up.

Aubrey for a girl is just wrong.

~shudders~

i love your name threads.
there are always a few bentleys.it seems to b a very popular name where u r

Only just spotted that you are in the US, i was thinking that it didn't look like a very British list!

Danica is OK I think, like the racing driver. But Kolbie is a shocker.

I know a Danica too. Quite a nice name.

I was particularly astonished by Livingston this month! I mean - really?! I guess they could call her Livi but still!

And yes there seem to be no end to the Bentley's. I think it's such an unattractive name, can't believe it's so popular

I think some Americans seem to use the mother's maiden name as a child's name so maybe that accounts for Livingston.

I was wondering if you were in London because a lot of those names are erm...popular in some places.

Wow!
What else is there to say?

Thanks for taking the time to type all those out!

At my brothers nursery school in england there's one family with a Jayden and a Coalby.

I also know of a Kylan and Leyland, all english people.

Fwiw, I think some of the above are nice names, just ruined by the type of people who screech them in public in my neck of the woods.

Braxton

Danica is a fairly common Slav name, pronounced Dan-ee-tsar.

Thank you fishpond. I have seen both the Dec and Jan lists you put up and it still amazes me what names some of thes poor children have been saddled with. But there are also some lovely names in the lists also.

I know that here in uk there are some names about but the Americans seem to make a hobby out of strange/unusual names. Im from NZ and there are some pretty weard names there but again id say that the americans win, for sure!

Wow, thank you for doing this, really interesting I will look out for it again next month

I actually quite like Aubrey, Paisley and Peyton

Isn't Aubrey a boys name?

And again with the Brentley? Obviously a popular name. Lots of little Brentleys in the same class in a few years time.

Atreyu! How will he ever live that one down?

Aubrey is a boys name in Europe: it's a variant of Oberon/Auberon, King of the Fairies.
