Which is Worse: Indiana or Indie Anna?
I've decided to go lazy from now on. It's become rather a pain to provide the links to these new baby bios (and they expire after awhile) so you're just going to have to trust me going forward that I've verified each name to a reasonable degree. Oh, yeah. Today's bad baby name is Indie Anna Lastname, with an honorable mention to Melita Euelia Little Dove Lastname.

Celebretots of the Year!
I really don't see the problem with Avis or Honor. They're a little trendy-traditional, and maybe a little bit what British BBN enthusiasts call "too posh." I don't know whether Nahla is a word, and Felix would be fine were it not for big brother Oscar. And how can Bronx Mowgli have failed to make anyone's year-end list?

Roland Burris, Unlikely BBNV Honoree
It has just come to my attention that Roland Burris (Illinois Senator-Designate-for-now) has children named Roland and... Rolanda.

The creative spelling of Chloe was bad enough, but WTF is up with Outlaw?

Tyrone... as a Girl's Name?
Contrats to the family of lovely little Mayleigh Tyrone but what's up with Tyrone as a girl's name? I hope it's just one of those family-last-name-as middle-name things.

Mavericks Are So Over
One good thing about the political process: could it get people to stop thinking of Maverick as a good baby name?
