List of babies born at my local (American) hospital - April

[Fishpond]

Background:

Been doing this since December. The parents have agreed to have their babies listed by name, picture, birthdate, and parents' names on my local hospital's webpage so they are public to all. I only include first names to try to maintain some semblance of privacy although the middle names are included on the page. I live in a midwestern American town of about 80-100,000.

Interesting note this month - 63 boys and 63 girls born

Some really spectacular ones this month ladies

Oh - wanted to say ...

The following pairs of names were twins

Brinley & Brystol (girls)
Kambreigh & Kynsleigh (girls)
Landon & Carter (boys)
Samuel & Seth (boys)

Seems it's very common here to name twins with the same letter

Love these lists, I'm always a bit at some, such as 'Sy'.

I have the baby & bump app on my phone (to track my current pregnancy) & I'm regularly on the baby name boards over there so I'm surprised a lot of the names on your list are so normal! Honestly some of the names those ladies come up with!! Here are a few:

Zsadist (with a silent s wtf?!)
Xylon
Jax (loads of these)
Nevaeh (loads of these too)
Amnesty (lol)
Gage
Hexley
Ryker
Creighton
Anything incorporating the name Lynne

Yes all the twins seem to either be rhyming or spelled with the same letter. They all want to cut & paste bits of relatives names into their baby name or have their children all having the same first & middle initial.

The best one by far though was:

Promise Mynelm Victor Jenkins (girl name)

The Mynelm bit stood for 'me you'll never ever leave me' & Victor Jenkins is the name of the baby's father - just put the whole lot together!!!

Also if you dare to say anything negative about a name they have asked an opinion on you get totally jumped on & accused of being bitchy & bitter!!

Gage?? Maybe the men in my life all need to get new hobbies but I instantly thought of train gages.

Zsadist?!

Hahahahaha Zsadist! Do think they'll have another called Zmasochist?

I know a baby called Daffodil!

Landon? Like a bit of bacon?

Oh no that's lardon isn't it?

Gage? that's a sort of plum. (trains have gauges)

I live near Preston. Is there any British place name that some idiotic American hasn't bestowed on their child? I have a naughty urge sometimes to go on an american baby names thread and suggest some names which sound OK but the reality ain't quaint e.g. Corby.

My friend has a boy called Landon. And it's the drummer out of blink 182's (Travis) sons name too.

promise me you'll never leave me victor jenkins

They named their child that??
Are they taking the piss?

If I was victor Jenkins I'd have been running for the hills the moment that name was mentioned.
The poor child

what the actual fuck

Actually LOLed at Promise Mynelm Victor Jenkins...

Brilliant list OP!
I think calling a person Truth is a very very very bad idea... (though I feel the same about Chastity... :o )

Gunner is horrible (wonder if they have Arsenal out there?)
Lots of -eigh names. Interesting.

Next time there's twins (both boys or possibly boy/girl), please suggest Bradford and Bingley.

Of course, they'd spell it Bingleigh..

promise me you'll never leave me victor jenkins

sounds like the title of a R4 drama.

I liked Braxton, I just wondered if the middle name was Hicks?

DogEared, 'Gunnar' is a real Scandinavian name. Maybe 'Gunner' was bad spelling rather than NRA activism.

Thank the lord for Rosemary.

(Am at Braxton)

Oooh, Talon... that's weirdly cool..

Brayton :o

I think when using a place name people should evaluate said place before naming their child after it!

Oh yes they certainly love a Braxton over there!

Brantley, Brilee, Braxton

They are some ugly and awkward to say names.

Grimma There's a little girl called Corby at my DS's school

Kynsleigh makes my eyes bleed.

On the subject of names, we went to Ds3s nursery open day and there was a (very white, very british) girl there called Cherish. She was very, erm, lively shall we say.
