Social Security's Top 1000 Names for 2005

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

For your viewing pleasure. Or in my case, horror. My daughter's name, Lily, has jumped to #39!! Nobody was naming their daughter Lily back in 1996! I thought I was giving my child a lovely, unusual name. Argh. ;)

Angel is a very masculine name in Hispanic countries. It's not a girl's name where it originated.

I know, but i'm surprised it's been adopted by of other communities for boys...(i assume since it's so high, it's not just hispanic babies being given the name) i tend to think of it as quite a tacky name for girls...
I do know of a caucasian 'Angel'- blonde haired and blue eyed, i suppose the name fits rather well! But i've always thought it was an extremely weird name choice on his parents part.

Tacky for girls yes! Maybe as a nn...maybe.
