Baby Names
Posted on July 22, 2008
Filed Under Life, Parenting
We have six children, and I rather like each of the names we picked out at or shortly after birth. Our youngest, however, told me today, “I don’t want to be Zane anymore. I want a new name!”
Maybe you are expecting a child, or know someone who is in pretty deep with “the name game.” Here is an interesting bit of data which may - or may not - be of help. The top three names for boys and girls in Texas:
1: Jose & Emily
2: Jacob & Mia
3: Joshua & Ashley
What about your state?

Hey, John Fuller. Don R. here. I just discovered your blog this very evening while sitting at home in San Antonio watching the remnants of Hurricane Dolly roll through. Your story of Zane reminded me of when my #2 daughter Kelly was about 2 or 3 and went through a phase where–upon hearing her name spoken by any family member–would emphatically stamp her foot and say, “MY NAME’S NOT KELLY! MY NAME IS SAR-AH LEE!” This went on for months. We never figured out where she got “Sarah Lee” (a commercial, maybe?) or why one day she didn’t feel the need to continue her alter ego. (Redheads are such a trip…) Blessings to you and your family from your old friend in Texas. I listen to the show when I can, and it’s always good to hear you there.
