Baby Names and How Weird They Are Sometimes

Why do some adults do what they do to their children?  I realize I have two N's on the end of my name but Erinn is pretty normal.  Right?  I like to come from a normal family, other than the fact that my parents allowed me to play little league football in the 5th grade.

Almost all baby name websites show that the top 10 names of each year are just the classics.  Recently it has been popular to go with the old school names though from our grandparents' childhood.  That's cute, and I liked it too until the kids that I nanny told me that they each have 2 Jacks, 4 Henrys and 3 Sophias in each of their classes.  Now the only way I feel justified in using one of these names if it belongs to a family member.

Even though these classic names are at the top of the charts I know there has to be a list somewhere of the most weird unique baby names.  I just can't find a good one.  Some examples though would be:

  • adding -son to the end of any given word, maybe those popular among the dads? and tagging it to your son's birth certificate.
    • Uteson
    • Nikeson
    • Espnson
    • Workson
    • Hudson
    • Hudson is the only real one, but more exist!
  • adding McK- to the beginning of your favorite word or -y to the end. 

I would post my list of baby names but you know how private those are.
But I have 7, and I need 2 more if I get the life I talk about having.
