Kamala is not a popular name for newborns (border, politician, election)

I'm not sure why it would be. I've only heard of one Kamala.

Who would name their child that when 1/4 of our population claims they are incapable of learning to spell and pronounce it?

Neither are Edith or Mabel.

But I didn't feel the need to start a pointless, silly thread about it.

I doubt Melania or Ivanka is popular either.

Who cares?

You cared enough to reply.

Here it is. https://www.calendars.com/shop/Kamal...r/202200002883

Guess if you want to keep track of the mid term elections.


Thought they would only sell it in 2021, because that’s the best year for Camela. It’s all downhill from here.

And why do we care about what people name their babies.

I find it rather interesting, myself. I'm not in the least bit surprised that Kamala hasn't cracked the top 1000, not the least because K. Harris was pretty obscure until near the end of the year 2020, the latest year that the Social Security Administration has released its data. The total lack of Barack in the top 1000 in any year does surprise me, given B.H. Obama's strong popularity in certain quarters.

Incidentally, the name Natalie has ranked in the top 1000 every year since 1900, as far back as SSA's baby name site goes. It's been in the top 100 every year since 1976 and in the top 50 every year since 1996. It peaked in 2008, at No. 13; but it's still pretty high up there even now. Your name is a timeless classic that has plenty of staying power. Personally, I think it's a lovely name. Now come on, admit it, don't you think all this is interesting stuff?
