And that Olivia is so popular, when I hear that name I automatically assume the owner is a bitch, with no reason or experience whatsoever. Since so many sons to Muslim parents are named Mohammed it's not surprising it got a high rating in one place, given the small samples. The girls' names were, largely, unsurprising. I hadn;t expected Noah, Logan and Harris, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it does say that names used fewer than three times aren't listed, so god knows what stuff isn't included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of people who have named their kids Theon and Arya while on the bus last week I heard a parent call their small child "Catalin" Maybe he was from Barcelona... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
