S. Onomastic: 2012 top Boys' Names: preliminary list

"I've been working on grouping the SSA top 7000 names by spelling. I already did the girls' list and have been working on the boys' names. Here's what I have so far-- I'm going to go back and re-check the results, but the top names probably won't change much."

Clare's insight:

Here's another great feat of data-crunching - can you guess what's in the top spot?

Snort Worthy | You Can’t Call It “It”!

The internet has been aflutter with this video from a talk show based out of England.  Katie Hopkins gets nearly ten minutes of air time postulating on why she judges children based on their names.  The views expressed in this video are not those of this site or its author. - See more at: http://www.youcantcallitit.com/2013/07/09/snort-worthy/#sthash.wzSlHBjj.dpuf
Clare's insight:

YCCII's response to last weekend's name-gate.  And do bear in mind that the lady in question doesn't speak for all (or even, I hope, the majority of) Britons.
