Parents are not fans of Kamala and newborns in 2020 did not get named Kamala in large numbers. The government searches the top 100 and surprisingly, Kamala is not in the top 100 favored names (since 2000).

Not a fan of Harris, but this seems pretty meaningless. "Donald" isn't in there either.

It would make a nice dog name.

I doubt that Joe or Brandon are very popular these days either.

Why would such a distinctly Indian name be that popular elsewhere? What a strange, desperate thread.

Kamala doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and now it is very unpopular. If Harris becomes President the name might never recover.





Walking through the local Mall the other day I saw a kiosk that was selling calendars and along with the cute animals was a calendar that featured Biden. Worse was they had one with Kamala. Imagine 12 months of those 2 staring at you? Who is buying these? I wanted to stop and ask the clerk if those calendars came with darts.

Tell me. When was this alternate name for Mother Lakshmi ever popular in the States or in other non-Hindu influenced places?

“Kamala” means lotus flower. “Devi” means goddess. Kamala is also another name for Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, usually seated serenely on her lotus-flower throne, bright pink lotuses clutched in two of her four hands, a plate of gold coins overflowing in abundance at her feet.

Tell us how much you all dislike South Asian names like Kamala. SMH.

She's Scum but really its not like it was ever a popular name. Not like it was the number 1 or even tenth most popular name for girls until she became known and people stoped out of hatred for her.
