Should newspeople fix incorrect baby name definitions?

In a recent Palm Beach Post article, the parents of a boy named Bodhi Jai claimed that Bodhi meant “peaceful warrior” and that Jai meant “early bird.”

Jai might refer to a type of bird, but there’s nothing “early” about it. And “peaceful warrior”? Nope. Bodhi means “awakening” or “enlightenment.” It’s related to Buddha. The parents were partially incorrect on one definition, totally incorrect on the other.

Good journalism involves fact-checking. Both of these names have verifiable definitions, yet none of the newspeople who saw the article before it was published bothered to see if the parents’ claims were true. They just let the errors stand.

Were they right to simply report what the parents said, or were they wrong to disseminate misinformation? (It’s a question I ask myself every time I see a bad baby name definition in a news article — about once or twice a month.)

Anagram baby names (3 letters long)

Anagram baby names (3 letters)

Looking for a set of baby names with something in common? If so, here are some 3-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 “pot,” “opt,” and “top” 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 Ole, grandson Leo).

Below are hundreds of three-letter names (collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names) that happen to be anagrams of other names.
