You are correct, though, that 1.9 million were Caucasian and 2.0 million were Black or Hispanic or Asian or Native American. I suspect that Isabella is a favorite in Hispanic families.<br /><br />So far, Barack and Hussein have not proven all that popular.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-65404840240815613132012-05-18T09:13:35.792-04:002012-05-18T09:13:35.792-04:00I am puzzled as to why these honky lists prevail a...I am puzzled as to why these honky lists prevail as it was reported in England very recently that for the first time ever the USA is now recording more non-white than white births.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-55478441013057083782012-05-16T08:31:47.499-04:002012-05-16T08:31:47.499-04:00Not too many 'made up' names then, althoug...Not too many 'made up' names then, although Aubrey was a surprise as a girl's name. It used to be commonly a boy's name in the UK, but I gather it is different in the US. <br /><br />I do have a grand-niece called Madison though - I thought that was my nephew's invention.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.com
