Kids legally named Bubba? Cinnamon?
Check out the AJC’s new database of Georgia baby names to see the most unusual and the most common.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The AJC has put together an amazing database of the baby names Georgians choose. You can search by year, by name or by category.
I learned there are 2 boys named Walsh in Georgia. I am shocked. I can’t believe someone else would choose that name. And there are 284 Roses born in the state. (I would buy that.) And two Lilinas??? What? I want an investigation.
The names and lists are pulled from the Georgia Department of Human Resources birth records from January 1990 through July 2007.
The AJC has also divided the names into categories such as cars, cities, presidents, trademarks, ladies, lords, and hyphens.
Check out the list and see what you find out about your child’s name and what category they might fall into.
