What’s in a name?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
According to an AJC analysis of Georgia Department of Human Resources birth records, someone, somewhere, named has their kid Butterfly.
No, it wasn’t me.
The records cover January 1990 through July 2007, and no year-by-year counts are shown for names shared by fewer than 10 people, to protect their privacy. So Butterfly could be a toddler or a teenager. All I know is she’s a female.
Does anyone know her?
Failing that, what’s your favorite unique name? I’m pretty keen on the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the judge who became the first MLB commish. His father was a Union soldier who fought at Kennesaw Mountain.
Do you think creative names help a child stand out, or could a too-cute name become a hinderance?
