What parents name their babies interests, and sometimes amuses, me. My wife and I were careful in naming our four children. Three of the four share the name of Bible characters but also of someone significant in our extended family. One of four is named after a great grandfather who was great.
Recently I saw the list of the top names for 2013. The most popular names for boy were: Jackson, Aiden, Liam, Lucas, and Noah, and for girls it was Sophia, Emma, Olivia, Isabella, and Mia.
The same website also posted a list of the most unusual names. It was fairly long, so I’ll just share a few that caught my eye.
Girls: Blip, Duda, Ezgi, Kukua, Nyx, and Zona.
Boys: Ajax, Baobao, Cheese, Chow, Hurricane, Rocket, and Tintin.
Alrighty then! You have to wonder what impact a name has on the child’s behavior. Watch out for Hurricane!
In God’s Story, naming people is significant. That’s a good thing to remember at this time of the year.
Matthew 1:21-23
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
