Time for a random observation not supported by a SHRED of research or scientific study. In the past, let’s call it 6ish months I have noticed a gaggle of new babies with the same name. One might say that with all the babies born in the USA every day (which is 11,000 by the way) there is bound to be tons of repetition…maybe even more than one person would say that. But it’s not like the name is James or John or Mike, the name that has inundated my life is Liam.
Now there is nothing wrong with the name Liam, it’s technically a word both backward and forward so how could it NOT be cool. Nonetheless here is the rundown: in the past 6 months there have been 6 Liams born (and possibly a seventh coming soon) with the only connection being yours truly. Wrap your head around that one!
I am all about going different with a baby name, but here’s a newsflash folks (and again….no offense to your bundle of joy) the name you thought you were breaking ground with is becoming steadily more popular with each passing year and is now 75th on the 2008 boy’s names list. Here’s one good thing though, there are NO known nicknames for Liam. Good for you, you just saved your kid years of torment on the playground and hours on a therapy couch. I mean it’s not like you named your kid Moxie Crimefighter!
