If it wasn't my mothers insistence on this I wouldn't have believed it either. Running a quick search on "HowManyofMe" turned up 1,567 people in the US with the first name "Female". Not definitive proof of anything, but apparently there are people out there with the name.
It's more likely that the birth certificates were filed for otherwise unnamed children.
Yeah, now that IS a possiblility I hadn't considered. We did have a BC come through the health dept. in the 70s (home birth) that stated "Human" for race. Same thought process!
I was one of those "female" kids. My Mom was going to give me up...so I was unnamed for a few weeks....they decided to keep me...but could not fix my birth certificate for several years.
When we adopted our first child he was already named Jerzy. We did not change it. Our second a daughter was adopted with the name Kansheika and we kept it. When my wife had a child we named gave him a tribal name Mosola. Our fourth child was named after the donor dad his name is Leon.
Would you say baby names that peaked circa 1950-60 would be just about the most "uncool" names to give your kids right now? Maybe it's because they're thought of as "mom" names? Early 20th century names are popular, the name of the 80s/90s still retain a diminished though significant popularity, there's still a surprising number of Jennifers, Kimberlys, Ashleys and Melissas born.
Aside from Elizabeth, Rebecca and maybe Carolyn I don't think any of the names in the top 30 are still commonly given to baby girls. The boy's names haven't changed as much though.
Worst name I have seen yet just found recently. Pronounces Ash oh lay spelled A$$hole. Either Mom was really poed at the dad, or she just thought it was funny. What on earth do her teachers do when taking role? I amnot sure she is old enough for school yet.
Mary is classic, not to mention very common worldwide in its equivalent (Marie, Maria, etc.) and will always be around. Susan, and Diane too, although Diana is probably more common now, like Julia instead of Julie, which was very common when I was a kid. We have a lot of Irish Catholic families around here, and I know two little Kathleens. There will probably always be Mary Margarets, Mary Catherines (#32), etc.
Sometimes I think people get drunk, wear blindfolds, and throw darts at a poster of the alphabet. With reality TV on in the background.
