A few weeks ago I posted lists of unusual boy names and girl names bestowed in the U.S. in 2009. Here are a few more I’ve noticed since then:
Boy Names
- Cartel & Cartell
- Criss & Chrisangel (for magician Criss Angel, possibly)
- Fransico
- Jedi
- Jester
- Makaveli (more likely for Tupac Shakur than for Niccolo Machiavelli)
- Scion
- Theory (the opposite of 4real?)
Girl Names
- Kherington & Kherrington (inspired by dancer Kherington Payne)
- Palin (for politician Sarah Palin)
- Tequila
- Xcaret (a Mexican theme park)
