The Naming of the Brood


Orange you glad your parents didn’t name you Fanta? The New York Post reports Fanta made the list of the city’s most popular baby names, coming in at 150 on the girls list. The story points out the number of celebrity-inspired choices—Rihanna and Scarlett made the girl’s list and both Denzel and Usher showed up on the boy’s side. Luckily, as the Post points out, everyone has refrained thus far from naming their offspring Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

The Social Security Administration has an awesome database going back more than a century that has lists of the country’s most popular names.
