By Any Other Name

The Office of Social Security has posted the most popular names for 2004. I was surprised that Madison is #3 since it is a pretty common stripper name. Daddy must've had a good night! The Husband will be informed that Isabella has gone from #11 to #7. It's a nice name but every time I pick up a baby magazine, some writer undoubtedly has a child named Isabella. Too common and therefore off the list. Amelia is #96 so that's a no-go - The Husband didn't like that one anyway. I also keep a list of boy names (just in case!) and recently added Isaiah which came in at #45 for last year. Currently scratching Isaiah off the list.

Our favorite names including Equi'Nox, Toshiba, Nosmoking and Marijuana-Tequila are out of the top 1,000 for 2004 and are therefore still in the running.

I vote for Toshiba. ;)

Next week on the PW Blog is all devoted to baby names.

Perhaps Toshiba or Nosmoking will be included in the post!

I worked at a law firm and one of the client's was Toshiba. Her sister was named Minolta. All of the names on that short list are actual New Orleans children (except for Equi'Nox - as far as I know). My husband was disappointed that I did not include Lemonjello on the list.
