Barack rising fast on baby names list

wow talk about such rude comments...I guess the world would be much better with a white president...ha ok

It's not Kool-Aid, it's Purple Drink. OK?

Anonymous,
You are an idiot. Destroy the USA? Did you graduate high school? Way to have faith in your country's democratic institutions, which are the best in the wold. Moron.

Oh yeah, OncePoor? Well I hate my name, and I wasn't named after Barack Obama.

Khloe?? If you were going to name your child after one of the Kardassians, my would you name it after him?

"the one who destroyed the USA"

are you that jaded or were you on a deserted island for the last 8 years? freak show.

Should be Barry instead of Barack.

No, because I am not an idiot

Love the first two posts.... dead on. I can't wait till these kids are in school...they'll never let thier parents live it down. Obama's a JOKE!

Are you guys paid to blog about anything negative about Obama? Cause honestly, you use the same talking points day after day after day. The same not basedin reality but i think they are because I can't stop watching fox news talking points.

But hey, ignorance is bliss right?

Give it up guys. Seriously--the whining and name-calling is getting reality old. If you have something of substance to say, then say it, but otherwise leave the rest of us alone.

If you are naming your kid after a reality TV "star," then you shouldn't be allowed to procreate in the first place.

Wow, how quickly we forget the previous 8 years - which I'm guessing in your mind went flawlessly? I'm just surprised you both were so interested in the "List of Top Baby Names" - guess you don't have anything else to complain about?

Hey Once Poor,

Answer to your question.... anyone who named their kid George.

Hey Once Poor - you sound pretty drunk on kool-aid. Your lame joke prediction can't handle a 70% approval rating. Don't let Rush or Dickie scare you too much!

Barack means "strength" and it's a great name to name a child after what will be a historic presidency for bringing our country back together, improving our relationships and reputation with foreign countries, and repairing many of the horrible things the Bush/Cheney regime has done to our planet and the economy.

I guess its better than when people name their kids Mercedes, Lexus, Poinsetta Princess, Porche, Love', Propesha, Appreciante, Sharquitta ...... These are actually names of people i've met...

where do these people get these names

I would only name my child Jacoby if he was the father!! Yummy!!!

How about naming them after someone you actually know? A reality star? You have to be kidding me. And I am a huge sports fan but why would I name my kid after an athlete? Because someone can steal a base they are automatically a geat person? Maybe he is a good guy, but our priorities are out of whack. My son will be named after my brother- who has more than earned that honor (he doesn't know it yet).

I wouldn't name them after ANY politician, either, but Obama is destroying the country?? Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid. So he started the war too, right?

absolutely no way on this earth.
...I used to like the name Michelle, but I am sick to death of her.
I will just stick to family names thank you very much.

What a coincidence! Barack is the same name I give my bowel movements.

People who name their kids after celebrities are real get-a-lifers. I remember in the mid-1970's when a bunch of girls were saddled with the name Farrah. You can't find a Farrah anymore -- I think that they all reverted to their middle names.

And anyone who purposely names their kid after a Kardashian should be visited by DSS.

So people are rushing to name there kids after the most pathetic, inept, corrupt President of all time? Why, because he gave poor minorities 3 Trillion dollars of middle class white men's money? Wait, I answered my own question.

Obama has done nothing besides tank an economy with trillions of dollars in slavery reparations, unless you count Magazine covers

Get to work, you lazy bum,

Just goes to show how may morons we have in America.. But seriously, free speech, is a beautiful thing, I thank god every day I don't live in North Korea..

Maybe he will give tax breaks to anyone named Barack, and it's a marketing thing? I bet more people would get that break than any other he has proposed, or passed.. Those are probably the same idiots wondering about his stupid dog, instead of important things like the economoy, the two wars, unemployment!!

Maybe all the fools naming their kids after him should name them after his new slogan.. "Barack, enabling entitlement one day at a time"

I SURE THEY ALL GOT PICKED ON IN SCHOOL

OncePoor, what makes you so sure that he will be a disaster of a President? When Bush was elected (selected), I did not like him but I at least gave him the benefit of the doubt until he proved that he really was an imbecile and not fit to lead this country. I secretly think conservatives fear Obama because they know he will be good for the country and it kills them inside...Of course, you'll probably tell me I'm wrong about everything and make an excessively rude remark in reaction to it. I haven't consumed any kool-aid, but perhaps you have, the conservative-hate-speech flavor...

Unfortunately, the Globe's request to discuss or comment brings out the bitter weirdos who still cannot believe that the USA would actually elect an intelligent President , who's main function now is to clean up the disastrous mess that their crew created...why don't these odd characters move to South Carolina where they would be happy and there would be people who actually agreed with them.,

How do they know its not after Chloe from 24?? I know a bunch of people who recently named their kids Jack...

What better way to commemorate the bankrupting of your child's future!

Can I please have some of what you are smoking??

I agree with AMAZED.

No, I wouldn't use any of these names. But that's me. And for the angry conservative crowd, I don't see any spikes in the names George, Richard, Donald, Sean, Rush, Karl, Mitt, Newt, etc. And what do you care?

I do, however, love the "worst president ever" label after less than 4 months. Very mature.
Naming a kid for a celebrity is just odd to my mind. The stranger the name the more abuse the kid is likely to suffer at the hands of their peers.

Responding to the first post here. The name of the person who tried very hard to destroy the U.S. is George and middle name W. He actually destroyed a lot of things, including our economy and reputation, that's what he's good at. But my favorite thing that he destroyed is the Republican party!! He put you guys back 50 years, with the help of his friends Dick and Carl. Barack is here to save the day, and a fine name indeed. He's already half way to fixing the economy.

A agree that there are always crazy conservatives that jump on these comments and rant about Massachusetts liberals and how the Globe is so liberal. They make me laugh. I think they are all wound so tight and many of them are just bitter, angry people.

BTW this is the best post right here...funny funny funny. Painful that it is true but still funny

Posted by Bush Rules May 8, 09 12:06 PM 6.Just what kind of pathetic moron names a child after a (reality!) TV star? I think it's almost as bad as naming a poor daughter with a "gender neutral" name, or worse, giving your daughter a last name (not from your bloodline) as a first name. Even worse, giving your boy a "non-threatening" affeminate name.
To please all the yuppies and soccer moms that cannot think for themselves in choosing a name, I will name my kids as follows:
Future girl names: O' toole, chuck, bok choy
Future boy names: micki, tysin, Jessi,

Years from now, these boys named Barack will have to explain to people;
" well my Mom and Dad thought it was a cool name, how could they have known that the guy was going to be impeached in his first term"

Nice to see that Matthew is hangin in there at number 10.

tictoc02026.. Wait and see..
It's only been 4 months, and he is making a mockery out of the presidency! Why should the president of the world's greatest nation wear a suit? Why should the president of the world's greatest nation show up on time? Look into what you say, half of the european nations are not backing your "savior, briliant, made for TV" president anymore!

Let's talk to Iran, and hug North Korea.. Then they stab you in the back, and he says "wow, I didn't see that coming." Maybe HILLARY is a better name for those boys whose insanely foolish parents wanted to name the Barack!

Speakign of his name, what does "Huesein" mean? Google that and I bet you must LOVE what comes up..

up, right?

The liberals have created a cult of personality. Our Kim Jong Il is Barack Hussein Obama. Pretty soon we'll have huge murals of him in town squares across the country, and the Media can't fawn over him enough either. Its kind of sickening, don't ya think lefties?

Type your comment here.OK so Bush was not a good President.

If so why do people constantly compare Obama to someone "lower"

Also, If Obama is one of the samrtest people, how come he thinkgs that we have 57 states and he says "Happy Cinco de Quatro" . C'mon, this new president is worse than Dan (Potatoe) Quale

Any parent who would name their child in honor of Khloe Kardashian should have their child taken away and then be sterilized.

I like the name Chloe (but spelled this way not the Khloe) that just looks odd. Plus Khloe looks like a she-beast and I don't like the connotation.

Barack is not a name I'd choose.

Though, I do enjoy the name Jacoby. I would call him Coby, for short.

Cute name!! Cuter boy!!!

Hey TicToc-
That's pretty funny and I second the notion- The name is just fllat out ugly!
BAH-RAK (barack). And I'm so sick of hearing the freaking name 100 times a day on the news & media, I would never want to up the ante on that to the 50 times a day I'm going to have to be calling or screaming it at my kid. You'd think these folk would be a bit tired of the name, but hey, go for it. It's a great set up for your kid to get his chops busted in school. Stupid parents.

Those of you who like the current President and believe him to be a highly intelligent and principled man have a right to your opinion. So far, I am disappointed.

He has put multiple tax cheats in his administration, including the head of the agency that is supposed to catch tax cheats. He signed a bill with thousands of earmarks, and has been far too gracious to some of the biggest nuts on the planet, including Chavez.

If you like a President who spends money then he is your man. He is spending when there is no need. The economy is coming back- as most of us knew it would- and barely any of the stimuous money has been spent. If the President is really intelligent and principled, he would pull back that crazy spending and preserve the future for our children.

P.S. If you do not have an intelligent response with specifics to counter what I have written, then please don't bother to respond.

Do the hospitals serve kool-aid in the maturity ward?

Unless I'm mistaken is the origin of the name barrack not muslim are the american butt lickers gonna name their kids after a man that has not accomplished much and possible making it a debt our grandchildren wiil be paying for 30 or 40 years down the road. I want to believe that he has someones best intentions at heart I just dont know who's He is not a great man he just has the gift of gab he could talk a hungry dog off a meat wagon lets see what he has done 2 yrs down the road.

What a mean thing to do to an innocent baby. And that's coming from someone named Bubba.

How old are you people, for cripes sake?? Good grief...

WOW! Some people are really angry. Wonder what anger for 4, 8 years does to their soul. These folks are really acidy. Who cares what folks name their kids. These are simply stats showing popularity of names not a reflection on the name itself. Take a deep breath and relax.

I forgive all of you Barrack haters because you do not know what you say.

I remember the righties complaining about "blind Bush hatred" and "Bush Derangement Syndrome." It seems all those haters were way off base, and the current batch are totally reasonable.

Don't see Hussein on the list.

Oops, typo.. that should be Hussein before some freak liberal jumps on my case.. At least I can admit a mistake.. Unlike all of you that voted for Obama

I never heard of the reality show named, but I loved the name Chloe. I would have used it, if our friend hadn't named their dog Chloe (I doubt they ever heard of the show either - and it was about 5 years ago). Anyway, it sounds like we lucked out!

#44 - Maybe if you spelled Hussein correctly you would have gotten the correct meaning.
Hussein: Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good; small handsome one".

Now your post makes you look kinda dopey... not that you needed the post for that.

BUSH was the man! YES

Now i know where the 22% that approved him and his polices reside, LOL boston.com comment sections, you morons! Go liberals!

The Globe staff sees this story as front page news - how exciting that the kool aid drinkers are now naming babies after Dear Leader.

Of course - many of the Globe staff have already named offspring Barack since last fall.

And the Globe wonders why its tanking?

Those poor kids will have to suffer with that name 'Barack' the rest of their lives? How would you like to be called 'Manny' Smith or 'Jimmy Carter' Smith. Now quadruple how badly that feels.

Seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? A silly story about what people are calling their children has become a forum on the 110 days of the Obama presidency? You pea-brained, slack-jawed troglodytes have to make EVERY SINGLE story a forum for your hate of this president. Why? Isn't talk radio enough for you? Why don't you dig up some old tapes of Jimmy Severino's old show to whet your appetite for hate.

You lost. GET OVER IT. Your heroes have put the country in such an utter, disgusting mess, that your hated Obama is stuck cleaning it up. Sorry you don't like what Obama has to do, but he's simply trying to fix the MASSIVE MESS GEORGE BUSH LEFT US.

As the right-wing conservatives reminded us so many times during the abomination that was the Bush Presidency, if you don't like it, leave. It's a democracy.. You lost. We won. Now you can taste the turd sandwich your pals Bush and Cheney left for you.

Please, save the hatred for other forums -- like articles about politics or better yet, for your favorite havens of Fox News and talk radio. Some of us just want to read stories about what people are naming their kids.

Waterboarding animals whose primary motivation is total destruction of America is torture. Sucking a babies brains out of its head because of your lifestyle choice is your choice. This is liberal logic at its best. Naming your child after HNIC is even nuttier

Okay let’s get a three things straight. First of all you are ALL HATERS… so let’s not go there with the little nasty Barack comments people have the right to name their child whatever they choose. Secondly WE all know that Barack had nothing to do with this economy as it stands right now so look in the mirror if you work for the financial system, are a republican or have charge cards maxed to the limit. Third of all the name Barack actually goes back to the ancient Middle East, to the Holy Land, as Barak was a general of the Israeli army. Barak means thunder in the ancient Hebrew and blessed one in Arabic, the meaning of the word in Swahili too. So who wouldn’t want to name their child a name of HONOR…?

SO PLEASE STOP HATING HATER.

Name your daughter Isabella, free admission to the Gardner Museum.

Love to see all this mis-placed hatred.........soon the republicans will know what diaspora means......wandedering 40 years in the desert looking for a message more than 20% can hold on to........by then Rush will be a footnote in broadcasting history, and Palin will have gone the way of the great white Quayle.

I wonder how many parents who named their kids George from 2000 to 2008 are embarassed.

Umm, excuse me, too! Gender-neutral names? What's the point?

Don't you want your kid to have a healthy self-image? "My folx didn't know if I was a boy or a girl. Neither do I." Not a good idea. Let the kid come to that conclusion by her- or himself. Don't force it on the kid.

Too late I already named my son "W"

I agree with Ed - I bet Chloe from 24 had a hand in the jump in the name, because she is awesome. Khloe Karadashian... not so much.

You do have to wonder what some people are thinking, or if they are thinking. I know of two instances where names were just brutal. I know a couple whose last name is Case. They named one of their sons Justin.
One of my kids went to school with a Druff family. They named their son Daniel. How can you do that to your own child? Really weird stuff goes on sometimes.

Amazed..

see #59, as you fit this glove better than OJ! And putting something into google, does not mean look it up in the dictionary. GED says what?

Sure I would use the name Barack! If I bought a pet slug at Petco, that would be my first pick!

As a parent of two children who grew up with not mainstream names I would have loved to participate in this forum. But clearly the kneejerk racist right wing, fundamentalist bigots are dominating this discussion. Maybe soon they will crawl back under their rocks. At least they stopped clear cutting forrests to get rid of communism.

Better than Barney or Teddy........

Can't we all just agree that the name someone else gives their child is none of our business? And since it's not our business, we should just keep that thought to ourselves, shake our heads in dismay (if needed) and move on to the sports, arts or comics.

Where is the token 'you haters are racist' for daring to mock the kool-aid drinking cult and their ridiculous baby naming after the President? Isn't that the easy button for you liberals?

Amazed. Try a below 50% Approval rating. Barack is a N!G&3R

Third of all the name Barack actually goes back to the ancient Middle East, to the Holy Land, as Barak was a general of the Israeli army. Barak means thunder in the ancient Hebrew and blessed one in Arabic, the meaning of the word in Swahili too. So who wouldn’t want to name their child a name of HONOR…?
===========================

In America it sounds like he was named during a Star Trek Convention... Someones mom read the Klingon dictionary one to many times....

Republican In MA (#74, 59, 44, & 32),

No idea what a GED says for you... I finished school, unlike you.

You asked for a Google definition and you got one. What's the matter, are you pissed that you were wrong on both accounts?
The one thing you were semi-correct about.... the glove didn't fit OJ.

Now back to the Fry-O-Lator before you get fired, surely they must be missing you by now!

Where is the token 'you haters are racist' for daring to mock the kool-aid drinking cult and their ridiculous baby naming after the President? Isn't that the easy button for you liberals?
======================
It took a little longer than I thought, its just too juicy for a lib not to pick up this low lying fruit, im going to get my chainsaw now.

RIGHT HERE>>>

Amazed.. The fact that you say the glove did not fit OJ, just proves my point.. Let me guess, George Bush is racist and he made the hurricanes hit only black people in Louisiana, right? And the best thing, is you still don't get what the typo message meant..

Typical liberal.. Unlike you, I am actually working, not eating bonbons and waiting for a government check to arrive, while I surf on my government subsidized stimulus check laptop.
You are another sheep in the flock of liberals, swayed by TV and the media. I am guessing you qualify for all the government aid and wonder why you don't get more, you are a proponent of entitlement, and therefore support the downfall of capitalism in Amercia.

If it wasn't for myself and the other 5% in the higher tax brackets paying the majority of the tax money, you would not have got such a big tax refund. Just sit back and keep at what you were doing, grab the remote, wipe your face with the american flag, claim racism, preach how Obama is our savior, while watching Jerry Springer.. Better yet, you should move to Iran!

We know were all the Baraks will be working in the future. On the welfare rolls or at an affirmative action job just like Obamma who has been given every position
Or maybe at the T if they decide not to bang in sick for fried chicken eatin contests during black history month.

It's easier to live without so much anger. Spend all this energy contributing to something that might help our city and our country.

The comments made about cool-aid and fried chicken is awful especially since the ones who made the comments know dog on well they are the ones that love cool-aid and fried chicken.... Eat your words for they are finger licking GOOD!! LOL

I assume Obama's doing a good job since the biggest douchebags in the country think he's doing a bad job

Hey Republican in MA,

Let's get together and we can compare pay stubs.
It's real easy talking tough on the net... just say the word, we can meet up and discuss this man-to-man (well, man-to-whatever you are, in this case).
I'll give you directions to the company that I happen to own, heck I might even offer your trailer-park a$$ a job.
By the way, I don't think George W is a racist, but I'm pretty convinced that you are.

A four year mistake given to a child for a lifetime!!! What a way to enter into this world, what a honor...NOT!!!

Amazed..
I really don't care if you own a company or not.. frankly, I could not care less!
If you can dish it out, you gotta be able to take it, without tough-talking your keyboard.
Anyway, I will be too busy wandering around in my gigantic house, to meet with you...
I would love to know how anything I said was racist? But again, you prove my point, as I was waiting for that comment as I said in my last post.. The fried chicken and kool aid talk is ridiculous, and the fact that you claim my remarks to be racist, is just as bad.

Waaaa! Waaaa! I'm a conservative republican and I need a diaper change!! I'm totally full of $heet. Waaaaaaaaa!!

I tried commenting before and it still hasn't appeared. So I will say it again: This comments section is disgusting. Find something constructive to do with your lives because this is a complete waste. Try contributing somewhere in a meaningful way and stop wasting your time - and the time of other readers - by posting ignorant and hateful messages and engaging in pointless arguments with similarly misinformed peers. And for goodness sake, learn to spell. You could start there. It's called self-improvement....it doesn't hurt and it's free.

What ever happened to good ole' Wilbur? Dang!

Most of you people are downright scary. You should all be thankful you live in a country where you can actually call the President of the United States a ni****r and not be stoned to death by sundown without a trial. Unbelieveable. And by the way, and this goes for everyone, can we please stop referring to this man as Barack? It's President Obama or Mr. Obama. I didn't care for it when President Bush was referred to as "W" either but it started out just to differentiate him from his father. It's a bad trend and extremely disrespectful. The man is our president, like him or not.

Oh, I was wondering what was up with all the racist ranting. Then I realized this was a Boston publication. Makes perfect sense now.

Didn't you know that all the trolls get paid to comment. They are a bunch of inner-bred morons.

many of the former immigrants that make up the Boston area surely are judgmental. Maybe the top name should be MICK?

Bush killed "George" for all eternity.

Just read a comment down the page, saying we think we would be better off with a white president. Shucks, I've been told his Mother was white. All I've seen of him is black, so it must be the bottom half that is white. Hope I never see that half! In fact, hope I never see the top half again either. It isn't the black outwards color that is a problem, it's the black heart that's a problem. I'd help elect Bill Cosby any time, and trade Brack Alabama for a totally black man, because Cosby has a brain.

This is disgusting, pathetic, and horrifying. How disrespectful can you people be? Calling the President of our country the N word. A word I would never want to spell out in my life. What kind of so called "American" people are you? Don't like it, get the hell out. No one's tying you down and keeping you here for good.

Do something constructive with your time. I mean, he's capable of running a country and inspiring the majority of the public. What exactly can you manage? Manifesting your anger on an internet article because you actually have nothing productive to do and probably haven't done anything productive in your lives? You're a waste of space and resources, in my opinion.

GET OVER YOURSELVES, you miserable racists pigs. I feel sorry for people who have to deal with you on a day to day basis.

And 'Rush' has become the #1 name for prize Hogs at the 4-H festivals

My son has a speech impediment, and is gay, so we legally changed his name to Barney Fwank.

I see the Rush Limb and Haniity Dittoheads have come out to play. I guess HATE Is all you got, because intelligence is in such short supply dittohead land.

I think there are a lot of negative comments because quite a few here have recently had babies and their wives wanted to name the baby Barack. Perhaps some felt threatened because the baby didn't look like them.

Gee - when my cousin named her daughter Madison back in 1980 I thought it was quirky to say the least and the kid would be burdened by this strange name.
Boy was I wrong,-though today she might be the oldest Madison in the country.

I hope that Barack becomes the number one name for boys. President Obama rocks!

Many of these comments sound like the mentality of the Third Reich's Gestapo or SSS. From the hate coming out of your posts, I think some of you, if given the opportunity, would slaughter over a name or a vote for Barack Obama. You need to check yourselves into the nearest psycho ward because you're dangerous to the civilized among us. Call yourselves "Republicans," "Conservatives," "Palin supporters," etc., but it all equals HATE! Anyone can disagree in a civil and dignified manner. You aren't respectfully disagreeing. You have a heart and mind of violence. God help us.
