the game of the nameFor the first time ever, Psychology Today contains a kind of awesome article. Here, a few highlights from the magazine’s report on trends in baby-naming:
mediocre minds think alike -
One thing that keeps me coming back to Chicha is the weird synchronicity I often experience here. There is the 11:11 thing. And you once posted about putting Montaigne on your reading list and I glanced down at a shopping list I had just written and Montaigne’s essays was first on the list. Then this morning I print out the 2003 vs 1903 baby names list and sure enough… It’s not a soul mate thing. My soul is definitely a loner. It is just weird sometimes.
I remember reading an Annie Dillard essay when I was a teen and she mentions that her cat was laying beside her on the bed biting the metal stitches she had in her belly and I looked beside me on my bed and my little white kitty was doing exactly the same thing.
Posted by e at May 13, 2004 02:21 PMI didn’t sleep last night, so I’m pretty out of it — and, for a moment, I misread
“she mentions that her cat was laying beside her on the bed biting the metal stitches she had in her belly”
as meaning,
the cat was biting the metal stitches on/in Annie’s belly.
What a great moment that was, though. I should misread more often.
Posted by N. Chicha at May 13, 2004 02:32 PMOf course, not to be missed is Not Without My Handbag’s “Bad Baby Names.”
Somewhere, out there is a little boy whose first name is actually “Alpachino”
Posted by Alejandra at May 13, 2004 05:27 PMMy sister-in-law has two daughters. They both have names that are in the top five of the years they were born.
The first time that happened, when it was brought to her attention she said, “Huh, weird.”
The second time she said, “Dammnit! Why does everybody have to pick *my* names?” How is it that all these people wind up picking the same name? It boggles the mind (well, my mind anyway).
Posted by rasputin at May 14, 2004 04:19 AMThe same image flashed through my mind as I reread that awkward sentence, but I was too lazy to correct it.
Posted by e at May 14, 2004 02:04 PMI’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow named her new baby girl Apple. WTF?!
Posted by alizinha at May 17, 2004 11:10 AM1) I’m picturing the opening scenes to a new film: All the Uniques have formed a playground club in grade school. A teacher calls for one in particular: “Unique!” They all turn around and say in unison, “Yes?” Teacher: “No, not all of you.” Children [again in unison, and eerily monotonous]: “We are all Unique.” Zoom in on their faces as their eyes begin to glow. Fade to black, cue opening music and credits.
But as the father of a girl named Gaia, I’m not sure how much room I have to point & laugh at other parents’ strange names for children.

Life is a game. In order to have a game, something has to be more
important than something else. If what already is, is more important
than what isn’t, the game is over. So, life is a game in which what
isn’t, is more important than what is. Let the good times roll.
