[dropcap]I [/dropcap]recently saw the list of the most popular names for babies born in 2016. I like to check out this list every year to see if Clint ever makes it to the Top Ten. I don’t understand why my name isn’t more common since Clint Eastwood is still very popular. Maybe next year, with numerous heart-broken Democratic women having babies, more baby boys will be named Clinton, and I will finally see my name in the Top Ten.
This past year, the top name for boys was Noah. I’m not sure why this name has become so popular. Sure, it’s a wonderful name, but how did it become such a hot name? There was that Russell Crowe movie a few years ago about Noah’s Ark, but it wasn’t seen by enough pregnant women to get Noah to the number 1 position.
There was Noah Webster a while back, but from the grammar and spelling I see in posts on Facebook, most millennials can’t spell worth a lick and apparently don’t own a Webster’s Dictionary. No sir, I don’t think 2016 babies were named after this Noah.
