Baby Girl Names - The Funny And The Famous

It's a girl!! Of course she's the most beautiful thing you have
ever seen (natch), but what are you going to name her?
Well, it seems that you now have endless possibilities for baby
girl names and the truth is that you can call your little
precious bundle anything you want - within reason. But beware -
something that sounds really cute for a chubby-cheeked
2-year-old with ribbons, could prove extremely uncool for a
stroppy 15-year-old and may sound downright embarrassing for a
25-year-old trying heading for an executive interview.
The problem is that, although there is a tendency to be quite
conservative when naming boys, parents often see baby girl
naming as an ideal excuse to exercise their more "creative"
instincts. But its sooooo easy to step

over into the weird zone
where your cute baby girl becomes something of a fashion
accessory, like the latest Fendi bag. Nowhere is this more
prevalent, than in the world of celebrity baby girl names; Demi
Moore and Bruce Willis are the parents of Rumer Glenn, Scout
LaRue and Tallulah Belle, Sly Stallone's daughter is Sistine
Rose, Christie Brinkley has a daughter called Sailor...the list
goes on.
But the dangers of doing this are perfectly summed up by a
beautiful, intelligent young lady by the name of Peaches.
Daughter, of the sainted Sir Bob Geldof, the then 16-year-old
Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof
made a statement in 2005 appealing to all celebrities to stop
giving their children ridiculous names. She said ""I

ridiculous names, my weird name has haunted me all my life".
Well said that girl - the perfect warning for all self-absorbed
celebrity parents-to-be. Of course, some people think she
actually got off lightly - her sisters are called Fifi
Trixabelle, Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lilly!!
Another fascinating example of the constant search for unusual
baby girl names, is the modern fashion in certain sections of
the African American community to give baby girls exotic
sounding names consisting of 3 syllables and ending in "A",
especially "SHA", or "QUA". This fashion has grown significantly
over the last generation and it's difficult to trace its
origins. Possibly, it may have something to do with the drive to
create African-sounding names, since many

African names end in

anything else, at least it's a great source of material for some

But apart from the more exotic names, what are the current
trends in baby girl naming? Well, in the US, the trends are
still for relatively conservative names - although less so than
baby boy names. The most popular name every year for the last 10
years has been Emily (meaning "Industrious, eager") and Hannah
("Grace of God"), Madison ("Son of a mighty warrior"), Elizabeth
("Consecrated to God") and Samantha ("Listens well") have also
remained firmly in the top 10 over that time. Interestingly,
Madison has a meaning which is "son of..." but has remained one
of the most popular

baby girl names for several years. Is this
yet more evidence that the females are taking over? They're even
taking our names now!
Even further down the list of most popular baby girl names,
there are few surprises. Although, there is not the same focus
on traditional, biblical-based names as with boys, the list is
filled with mainly traditional (and beautiful) names. Girl's
names - much more than boy's names - are often subject to the
prevailing culture and the influence of famous people. It's
interesting to see that the name Chelsea ("River landing place")
entered the US top 100 in 1984, rose to its highest level of
number 15 in 1992 - the year Bill Clinton first became
president. Then after a few years of being quite high in the
ranking, it completely

dropped out of the top 100 in 1999, as
the Clinton era began to draw to a close. Was the brief
popularity due to the President's daughter? Most probably!
But just remember that, when it comes to baby girl names, the
"famous name" effect leads to short-term popularity, but
long-term consequences. We await the strange spectacle of hordes
of grey-haired old Beyonce's and Britney's attempting to shake
their booty's during the daily exercise sessions in residential
homes...!
