Recently, the 1,000 most popular baby names of the year was released.
Although the most popular names, Isabella and Jacob, aren't anything all that strange--there were a few oddities on the list.
For one thing, the name Nevaeh placed on the list.
For those of you who aren't sure how that made it, it's "Heaven" spelled backwards.
Yup, some parents are telling their kids they're a backwards Heaven...which would be Hell, right?
I guess they didn't think that through.
How would you even pronounce "Nevaeh?" Nuh-vay-uh? That sounds like someone trying to make up an ethnic name without figuring out what ethnicity beforehand.
In other words, it's stupid.
I'm all for original names, but there should be some meaning or purpose behind it.
Maddox made the list--a name Angelina Jolie gave to her son, and now others are giving to theirs.
What are you going to tell your son when he's ten?
"Well, sweetie, we called you that because this crazy celebrity at the time named her son that and we just LOVED it!"
He'll probably change his name and disown you immediately afterwards.
Likewise, the name Lindsay went down a few pegs, presumably because of Lindsay Lohan.
Just so we're clear, naming your child Lindsay is not going to get them either thrown in jail or cast in a remake of The Parent Trap.
Seriously, people, stop worrying.
What's great about the top ten list is that you can tell some of the names on there wouldn't be on there if parents knew they were on there.
Huh?
Let me explain.
When a parent names their child Jayden or Ava, they think they're being unique but not OVERLY unique.
Unfortunately, they'd be better off Richard or Christine if they wanted to be slightly original, because neither one of those names is in the top ten.
So what, you may ask, do Isabella and Jacob have in common?
If you guessed Twilight, sadly, you're correct.
The vampire craze will now be affecting not only the current world, but generations to come.
Why do I get the feeling our kids are going to think we were really, really stupid...
