[Carbonox]

You sure?

I was more surprised to see Avery amongst girls' names.

 

[acjy1985]

You sure?

Say it with a Spanish accent and it creates a man's name such as the Argentine golf battist Angel Cabrera

 

[Famine]

Say it with a Spanish accent and it creates a man's name such as the Argentine golf battist Angel Cabrera

Or a slightly miffed Buffy character.

 

[CinnamonOD]

There are names people use here that work for both sexes

Jesús María
María de Jesús
José María
María José
etc. x1000

They're all first names

Not kidding

 

[Slash]

I met a guy named that once.


It was kinda wierd though. Especially since my name was similar to his, only difference being my name had an "o" on the end.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

You guys never watched Dexter then, one of the main characters is called Angel, he's also Latino.. Cool guy.

[photonrider]

You sure?

You want to get off that bike and discuss the Marquis of Queensbury with me?

I find that one odd, too .

Well, TBH, so did I. I know there are many variations of the noun - Angelina, Angelo, etc, etc - but as you can see from the list, both Nathan and Nathaniel are listed, so this must be just the name 'Angel' itself. Yes, there seem to be many Angels amongst us - even stranger the fact that the androgynous term seems to be more popular for males than females.

Also - the list seems to be very biblical in nature - many names from both Old and New Testaments. No doubt if the list was from China . . . or India . . . the most popular male name would be different - and also connected in some way with the spiritual. Let alone the most popular male name in the entire Moslem world.. . .

Names are very important, though - seems redundant to say that - but it's true, I feel, of most of us who are unhappy with the names we were given with such great gusto by our euphoric parents. I myself don't go by my first name - but use a variation of it, especially for business - since my real name is far too glamorous for a humble contractor. Also since my business goes under the name of 'Harry's' people usually call me that since they know I own the business.

Both my elder kids shortened their names and refuse to answer to or write down the extended version, (one has a Scandinavian name, the other a Biblical name) and the youngest wants to change his first name (and he is named after an Archangel) completely - which I have agreed to do - he will be entering High School with his new name. I'm hoping he's not sick of that name by the time he's ready for Uni.

On occasion though I have had to call them names they were never 'christened' with.

Below are the 100 most popular names for girls, based upon Social Security Administration statistics as of May 2013.

*snip*

And if it's a boy . . .

*snip* (waits for joke)

Neither one of my son's names were on that list. Actually, neither is mine. Or my wife's. The dog is, though (Molly).

And if it's a boy . . .

My oldest lads first and second names are both on the list. Oddly, for my younger son, my daughter and myself, only our middle names are there. Not surprised about my first name, it's very unusual, but both my sons and daughter have nice, normal names.

After living with a name people never knew how to pronounce, I was determined not to do that to my children!

 

[Dean]

Yes, there seem to be many Angels amongst us - even stranger the fact that the androgynous term seems to be more popular for males than females.

Exactly why I find it odd.

The Danish version; "Engel", is one of the newer allowed names here, but in my opinion, it makes "more sense" - so to speak - when it's a girls name - same for "Angel", but not "Angelo".

I also find it (Engel) odd in Danish, but here, even my name is pretty unusual (I'm one of 278).

The (official) Danish statistics-pages, shows there's 7 named "Engel" (3 males and 4 females). "Angel" gives 55 males and 32 females... - all out of approximately 5,602,628 people.

What am I missing ?

90's parents with a liking for Buffy the vampire slayer?

On the subject of approved Danish names, we are seriously considering Emil(for a boy) or Emelie/Emilie (for a girl) as a middle name as we spent a week in Copenhagen in February as a holiday and everywhere we saw these two names!

 

[Monatsende]

Name him/her "Doctor". Will save a lot of money for damn university stuff, works for both genders.

Or "King/Queen", "Prince/Princess" etc. for social prestige.

 

[axletramp]

'King Young' sounds a bit North Korean.

 

[Dean]

Emil (/ Emelie) / Emilie are all good, if not classic, names used in Denmark 👍.

If you want the Danish stats, here they are:
Emil: 19083
Emelie: 137 (yes, 137) - possibly also including Emelie de Forest from Eurovision ().
Emilie: 11153

Again, out of approximately 5,602,628 people.

Or "King/Queen", "Prince/Princess" etc. for social prestige.

Baron too 👍.

I can so see this happening:
"King/Queen": "I'm more worthy, because of my name, than you, so now go get me some brownies" .

 

[DustDriver]

I'd opt for 'Darth' if you want a title as first name.

 

[TB]

"Party on, Darth."

 

[Alex.]

'Darth'

 

[Monatsende]

Nobody mentioned "Klaus-Dieter" already?
Or "Heinz-Harald" (Frentzen) to be more on topic?

How to build 2 names out of 4...

 

[Dean]

I mentioned Heinz earlier .

Also, in the spirit of two names; Emil-Frederi(c)k 👍.

 

[R5]

Boy- Ascari(?)


Girl- Lola(?)

 

[MisterWhiskers]

Boy-Oliver (Hammond's Oliver on Top Gear)

Girl-Herbie (From the Disney movie)

 

[priesty_lfc]

Cole,

As in Cole Trickle, Days of Thunder, classic film!

 

[Carbonox]

I know another Trickle who had an even cooler first name, but for some reason it has recently lost its popularity.
