Baby name story: Elloebee

Elloebee, named for the Seahawks' "Legion of Boom" (L.O.B)
Elloebee

First there was 12th Mann, and now there’s Elloebee.

A baby girl born on September 20 was given the Seahawks-inspired name Elloebee — a spelled-out version of the acronym L.O.B., which stands for “Legion of Boom.”

Here’s how her father, Christopher, explained it on Facebook (via KING 5): “We are big Seahawks fans and when we were thinking of names for our daughter, we wanted something that stood for strength and resilience. We named her Elloebee, after the LOB!”

L.O.B. refers to anyone who has played defensive back for Seattle Seahawks since 2012, which is when the term “Legion of Boom” was coined.

(Here are a few more baby names spelled with the names of letters.)

Where did the baby name Kahne come from in 1958?

The curious name Kahne has been in the baby name data recently as a boy name, but it first appeared as a girl name — just once — during the 1950s:

  • 1960: unlisted
  • 1959: unlisted
  • 1958: 5 baby girls name Kahne [debut]
    • all 5 born in Louisiana
  • 1957: unlisted
  • 1956: unlisted

What put it in the data originally?

I’d say locally famous Louisiana college student Kahne Dipaola.

In the fall of 1958, Kahne — a senior at Northwestern State College (in Natchitoches) — won a beauty contest and became the school’s very first “Lady of the Bracelet.” She was presented with a gold bracelet to wear whenever she represented the school in public. (You can see the bracelet on her arm in the photo above, taken at the school’s Halloween dance.)

The honorary bracelet has been passed down to each new Lady of the Bracelet (or “Miss LOB”) ever since. These days it’s not the original anymore, though.

Do you like the name Kahne? What’s your guess on pronunciation? (I’m saying “Connie” in my head, but who knows.)

P.S. Speaking of LOB…here’s a baby named Elloebee. :)

A reader named Becky recently emailed me with a rather cool request:

We’re looking for a girl name that has an actual spelling and letter combinations to represent the word. For example Evie (EV) and Katie (KT). Any suggestions would be great!

Here’s a long list of (mostly female) names that can be spelled with the names of letters. Some of the letter strings don’t quite replicate the pronunciation of the corresponding name, but, even if they don’t match perfectly, they do come pretty close.

Can you guys think of any others? Let me know and I’ll add them!

Update, 2015: Here’s a baby girl named Elloebee, a phonetic spelling of the acronym LOB (“legion of boom”).
