What a Nimrod!

Meanwhile you still probably have a few naming their kid Khaleesi in 2026
Apparently Brooklyn was full of toddlers named Sufjan 20 years ago. So there’d be a cohort of twentysomething dudes named Sufjan around these days.
See also: names like Liam and Kylie which were a lot less common before the 90s. Not to mention the girls’ name Madison (from a mermaid in an 80s movie).
Sufjan
Sufjan was big 20 years ago? No that can't be right, that would be... 2006...
ETA: ....And I just pulled my back.
I faked my age was 18 for an app yesterday. I put '25th June 2008'.
Illinoise for sure was the soundtrack to a few conceptions
Barney. Himym tried to normalize it.
What's that, Bart and Homer?
Crazy how we never see people named Miss Piggy anymore
I grew up next to a Kermit who was born in the 1910s or 20s IIRC.
And had a great uncle named homer.
I mean, Grover is an amazing name to me. I really like Grover from Percy Jackson, for example
Alexa, what are some baby names to avoid today?
I think it's a question of comparing how common a name is to how iconic its new use is. Sesame street didn't stop people from naming their kids Oscar. (or The Count /s)
And Adolf.
Along the same line, I've met Barbaras but I've never met a Barbie.
Who was named Elmo before the muppet?
As legendary a badass as Robin/Nightwing is, he's unfortunately still a Dick.
Fun fact, the Roosevelt Kermit helped put us into the situation that exists in Iran today.
There was an old guy with the first name "Adolf" at my parents' church when I was a kid in the 1970s.
