I’ve got a bunch more, but my brain isn’t awake yet. Don’t people understand that they are naming adults?

My wife processes birth certificates at a hospital. This subject is a frequent dinner topic. Taisin was the latest one I remember, rhymes with raisin. Its a boy, if that matters.

I know someone who named their child Maverick.

Oh, your son is terrible following directions? What do you expect, you named him “Maverick.”

It actually became popular I’ve been told. My wife’s niece named her kid Maverick. Because they liked rhe movie.

Know a guy named Coda. Pronounced Soda.

The book Freakonomics dedicates an entire chapter to this subject. The question was “Does your name determine your lot in life?” They did a massive research project on names and assessed if there was any correlation to financial and/or social success.

Example: they found a pair of twin boys in New York named Winner and Loser. Loser (Lou) turned out better than his twin brother.

Their conclusion was: A dumb name does not determine your lot in life by itself. Rather, if you have a dumb name, you likely had dumb parents who then raised you poorly.

My friend's sister had twins...a boy and a girl. He called them Denise and Denephew.

Went to a River Bandits game last week. One of the players names is River Town. First name River (like River Phoenix) and last name Town (like the building at ISU).

I was there Thursday night. Too bad the Bandits aren't any good anymore. And River Town is perfect for the QC since it is you know, a river town.

I've definitely seen Maverick lately.

People are giving their dogs human names and their humans dog names.

Great kids not the greatest parents

I worked at a school and there was a girl named Atari Wii. I can't make this up.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Is the mother’s name Megan?
Maybe we know the same person…

Broadcasting high school football in eastern Iowa over the past decade or so, I’ve run across a few Mavericks. Also some Kinnicks.

When I was in high school I knew a girl a couple of years older than me with the last name Hidy, pronounced “HI-dee.”

Her parents named her Heidi.

Heidi Hidy.

And no, I don’t particularly think she was a ho (“hi-dee hi-dee ho” says Cab Calloway).

 

[singsing]

I knew an obgyn named **** Stiff.

I know someone who named their child Maverick.

Oh, your son is terrible following directions? What do you expect, you named him “Maverick.”

I have a grandson named Maverick. There are 3 of them in his daycare. It's quite a common name these days. Not sure what's so odd about it.

Worked at US Bank (corporate) for about 5 years awhile ago, the head of Legal Counsel was named Richard Payne, but only his mother and the CEO could call him Richard. Everyone else had to call him ****.

**** Payne.

My dad always tells me the story of his favorite teacher in high school. His name was D!ck Worm

Megan was a trend setter I guess. Her Maverick was born somewhere around ‘03.

A relative who works in pediatrics gets exposed to a ton, but it's not a new phenomenon.

There's at least one boy in Ottumwa, IA named "Kinnick"

That's something you name your dog, not your son.
