Amanda and Stephen Preston of Lancashire, England, welcomed a son in late January, 2011. He was named Jensen after Brian Jensen, goalkeeper of the Burnley Football Club.
But that’s not all! He was named after each of the other players on the team as well.
Stephen said, “We had already decided to call him Jensen as he is Amanda’s favourite player, but we couldn’t decide on a middle name so we thought why not go for the whole team.”
Here are all of the baby’s given names, and the corresponding Burnley players:
Name
Player
Jensen Jay Alexander Bikey Carlisle Duff Elliot [sic] Fox Iwelumo Marney Mears Paterson Thompson Wallace
Brian Jensen Jay Rodriguez Graham Alexander Andre Bikey Clarke Carlisle Michael Duff Wade Elliott Danny Fox Chris Iwelumo Dean Marney Tyrone Mears Martin Paterson Steven Thompson Ross Wallace
If the baby had been a girl, the only difference would have been Briany instead of Jensen for the first name.
(My source article also mentioned a baby boy born in 2009 and named Robbie-Blake Moore, “after Robbie Blake’s winning goal against Manchester United in the Premier League.”)
A total of 4,143 babies were born in Malta in 2009. (In 2006, the number was 3,885.) These were the most popular baby names last year:

You’ll notice that Malta still lumps variants together. (They even lump non-variants like Elena and Ella together.) I’m not a big fan of this method because when groupings change from year to year, comparisons become impossible.
Malta also seems to have some issues with spelling. Aidan and Kieran became Aiden and Keiran between 2006 and 2009, for instance. And I wonder if “Gulia” wasn’t supposed to be spelled “Giulia.” (Though I do like the fact that there’s a “Julia/Gulia” grouping. Very Wedding Singer-esque.)
But it’s interesting stuff nonetheless. I’m especially intrigued by all the -ayden names on the boys’ list. (Worldwide phenomenon, anyone?)
If you want to see more from Malta, the top baby names of 2008, 2007, 2004/2005, 2003 and 2002 are available for download.
Looking for a set of baby names with something in common? If so, here are some 5-letter anagram names for you to check out!
Anagrams are words that contain the same set of letters, but not in the same sequence. For instance, the words “alter,” “alert,” and “later” are all anagrams of one another.
Anagram names can be a neat option for siblings — particularly multiples (like twins and triplets). They’re also a clever way to connect a baby name to the name of an older relative (e.g., grandpa Klaus, grandson Lukas).
Below are hundreds of five-letter names (collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names) that happen to be anagrams of other names.
There’s nothing wrong with the list itself. But problems begin when you try to compare this list with the 2006 list.
For instance, in 2006, 49 boys were named Michael or Michele. A year later, there’s no way to tell if either of these names has became more or less popular — all we know is that 24 boys were named Michael, Michele Mikiel or Mikail, and that 29 boys were named Miguel specifically.
And that’s just the beginning. Between 2006 and 2007, Nicholas became Nicholas/Nikolai, Thomas became Thomas/Tommaso, and James became James/Jamie. Alexander became Alexander/Alessandro/Alejandro, while (accent-less) Andre became Andrew/André/Andrea. All of these odd groupings make it impossible to draw conclusions about how the popularity level of a specific name has changed over time.
I am also suspicious about spelling. Aidan (#6) and Jaydon (#19) from the 2006 list seemed to morph into Aiden (#6) and Jayden (#11) in 2007.
Finally — and this may be nit-picky — I dislike how Jeremy and Jerome were lumped together. The names may look alike, but they are unrelated.
I have issues with the girl names as well:
Maria/Mariah, 73 baby girls
Martina, 47
Julia/Giulia, 42
Christina/Kristina/Christine/Christa, 41
Elisa/Eliza/Elizabeth, 39
Sarah, 36
Emma & Maya, 34 (tie)
Nicole/Nicola/Nicolette, 31
Amy & Jasmine/Yasmine, 30 (tie)
Michela/Michelle, 29
Katrina/Katie & Shania, 27 (tie)
Aaliyah & Hayley & Jade, 21 (tie)
Alexandra/Alessandra/Alessia, 20
Francesca & Ylenia, 19 (tie)
Kylie, 18
Kaya, 17
Emily & Kayleigh, 16 (tie)
Kelsey & Leah & Rihanna & Thea, 15 (4-way tie)
Ella & Elena & Kiera & Kyra, 14 (4-way tie)
Hannah, 13
Between 2006 and 2007, Julia became Julia/Giula, Nicole became Nicole/Nicola/Nicolette, Jasmin (sans e) became Jasmine/Yasmine, and Elisa/Eliza became Elisa/Eliza/Elisabeth. Michela went from being grouped with Michaela to being grouped with Michelle.
And, as with the boys, I don’t think spelling stayed consistent. Hailey (#10, 2006) became Hayley (#12, 2007) and Kaylie (#17, 2006) became Kayleigh (#17, 2007).
Malta, you’re driving me crazy! I hope the top names of 2008 are listed more logically, i.e., using name-groupings that have been used before.
