California politician Gavin Newsom — who has served as mayor of San Francisco (2004-2011), lieutenant governor of California (2011–2019), and governor of California (since 2019) — has four children with his wife Jennifer.
Their first baby, a girl born in 2009, was named Montana Tessa — Montana after the state in which they got married, and Tessa after Gavin’s late mother.
Their second, a boy born in 2011, was named Hunter — which was simply Jennifer’s favorite boy name.
Their third, a girl born in 2013, was named Brooklynn Stacia — “Brook-” after Jennifer’s sister Brooke, “-lynn” from Jennifer’s middle name Lynn, and Stacia after Jennifer’s late sister Stacia.
And their fourth, a boy born in early 2016, was named Dutch William — Dutch after the town of Dutch Flat, “where Newsom spent much of his childhood at his father’s home,” and William after Gavin’s father.
The first baby born in central Iowa (including Des Moines) in 2014 was Nash David Eddie, son of Lance and Christine Eddie.
The name “Nash” was chosen in honor of Nashville, Tennessee. It’s where Lance and Christine went on their first road trip together.
When the president/CEO of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. learned about baby Nash, he sent the Eddie family a bunch of “Nashville-themed gifts, including a CD with music from the TV show “Nashville,” a guitar-shaped chocolate bar, the “Lisa Loeb’s Silly Singalong” children’s book and a four-foot-tall stuffed Gnash — the Nashville Predators hockey team mascot.”
The family will also get free passes to local attractions the next time they visit Nashville.
In Idaho’s 2003-2009 annual reports, the heading of the unique names section was “Selected Unique Names, Yewneek Spellings.” For 2010, it was lengthened to “Selected Unique Baby Names, Yewneek Baybee Spellings.” Aren’t these a bit snarky for an official state document…?
The top 1,000 baby girl names of 2009 can be found at the Social Security Administration’s website. But what about all the other names that were doled out last year? Those names are also available via the SSA I recently discovered (thanks Kelly!).
Just a few hours ago I posted a list of boy names that didn’t make the top 1,000 last year, but were still given to 100+ babies. Here is the equivalent (and much longer) list of girl names, grouped by the number of babies that received each name:
*Nyasia could have made the top 1,000. In fact, it should have made the top 1,000. It was given to 263 babies, just like the names that ranked 996th-1,000th (Gretchen, Karli, Kloe, Lilyanna and Mireya). But it came in last alphabetically, so in the eyes of the SSA it’s name #1,001. Sad, sad…
