Is it just me or are some of these names weak?

It's not you.

Good, I'm thinking that people are just picking cute names that are awesome up until you're 12 not considering the possibility that the kid will make it past 12.

These are the kinds of names that get you beat up at school.

I suppose you were the one beating up kids not getting beat up.

Steven is a strong name, whereas Roberta ..... not so much.

Aiden and Jayden I don't understand.

I'm surprised that "Jackson" is so widely popular, but you can always abbreviate that "Jack".

None of the rest strike me as peculiar.

I have met a bunch of people with young sons named Jayden lately, mostly around 8-10 years old. Did I miss something? Where did that come from?

So you were a bully? I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. You like fighting and violence.

I think there was a pretty boy celebrity or movie character named Aiden ... I'm kind of perplexed about Jayden, but I've seen a bit of that name as well.

Aiden


Jayden



yep. grounds for divorce if my wife had wanted either of these names for a boy.

If you really want to see some....ahem....unique names just scan the rosters of the NFL. It's alphabet soup.

Yeah, Will Smith's son is about that age. Dunno the cause of its popularity.

'Caden' also makes the top 10 list. Don't know what's so popular about that rhyme.

Evidently 'Jackson' is a tribute to Michael. Duh, that makes sense.
