First Baby Names of 2012: Name Candy's State-by-State List

I think it's good for aparent to give their kids good names with full of happppiness in it, but not animal names with funny characters and wildness.

Hannah Elizabeth...nice name..

Worst one IVE SEEN AS OF RECENT is "LA-A", (PRONOUNCED "LaDasha". Yikes.

Parents when giving names plizzzzzzzzzz put uaself in the kids shoe, let them not regret their names when they are grown up & feel like they were given a raw deal and would like to change it......................

I have an Amanda and Katherine (now calls herself Katie). Loved
the A's and K's even back in the 80's.

This list shows that parents are trying to be just a littlle to clever at their childs expense. Shekinah and Envy Essence are you kidding.

I worked with two people who had unusual, differerent spellings of common names. It does cause headaches in dealing with schools and HR. Although a few of the names on this list are 'different' at least we seem tp be moving away from names where someone drew the letters out of a hat. E'Tawn comes to mind.

I don't judge other people's names. My name is Gidget. I was named for a fictional surfer girl's nickname. Now I don't care what others think of my name. I love it! I haven't always but I do now. It suits me. Who are we to say that these kids names won't fit them someday?

kewl i never knew there were so many baby names that were awesome!!!!!!!! :P

some are horrible people! just had to say it play Wizard101! woot

And teachers are having a fit because names are NOT phonetically correct. Anferknee is Anthony. Who knew?? Quanamanaquina is some weird pronunciation. Students have NO idea HOW to spell their goofy names. Employers don't hire potential employees with weird names. Might not be politically correct, but research shows it is the truth. Please don't label your child with something bizarre. Research also shows that children with weird names make lower grades (even if the child is brilliant).

Poor parents, missed the tax deduction for 2011!

A poor child at my daughter's school is named Sorrow. Seriously.

Best advice re baby names? Don't give your child a name you couldn't see the CEO of a Fortune 500 company having. Make sure it's resume appropriate, easy to spell, and professional.

A few things to keep in mind when naming your child...1. They have to learn how to spell their name one day, 2. Ask yourself, "Are others going to know how to pronounce it and know the gender of my child? Some of these names are horrible. I understand the desire to have a unique name, but there are not so common names that are still normal! And I never understood the need to put an apostrophe in your first name (Kay'lyn)??

We are naming our baby (due in March) after my Dad. I don't think there will be many with his name in the classroom, but that's fine with me!

Some people should be banned from naming people and animals. Envy Essence-Faye, Akier, and Shekinah Rain Shanice (as if you couldnt decide between the 3 stupid names, so you give her ALL of them)???

And the winner for the worst name is .....TEXAS!!..second place...MISSISSIPPI..for the middle name...please,please stop with the phonetics...

All I am saying is, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

as a teacher, i deal with daily. One family had mercedes, camry, fusion. coupe,
