If spelling variations are listed separately, do you combine them for the quiz? And if not, why do you accept variations for answers?

Angels, in Christianity at least, are ALWAYS referred to as male. Angels are never referred to in any other gender (feminine, or neuter). Furthermore, the only named angels in the bible are also males: Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer. Hey - maybe some day Lucifer will catch on! "Just call me Lucy!"

I just started by picking names of the boys I've had in daycare the last two years and then names of boys from my daughters classes and their friends. All these kids were born between 08 and 14. Just from that I got 40 my first time out. not to bad. :)

There are quite a lot of English names from surnames, and not even just modern inventions.

Apparently it's been around for a while now, though it's rise to popularity was very recent. It certainly sounds like it should be a surname to me, but whatever, it's a free country. That said, my tolerance is stretched to breaking point by Jayden and its variants. That one is definitely a nonsense modern invention.

It's probably from the surname, which in turn is from the occupation - or perhaps the Illuminati - but even as a given name it's been around quite a while. A few examples that come to mind are Mason Williams ("Classical Gas"), Mason Adams (character actor and voice over artist), and Mason Reese (child actor) - all from 50 or more years ago.

Funny story: My Economics teacher once had a student whose name was spelled "La-a", and he was like "uh, is there someone named Laa in this class or is it a mistake?" so everyone in the class was like "there's no one named Laa in here", but finally this one girl said that she wasn't called on, and my teacher said "okay, what's your name?" and she said "LaDasha". You were supposed to pronounce the dash. I don't know if he was telling the truth, but I still found it funny.

Yeah just ask all the women he assaulted, all the vendors he never paid for their services, the wives he cheated on, the Mexicans he insulted by calling them rapists...the list goes on. Pretty much the only people who will defend him are either white supremacists or have so many financial interests to protect (i.e. they're greedy) that they're willing to sell their own souls as well as sell out their country and fellow citizens.

Like with many US based quizzes, I did badly here (I'm British). Here I think biblical names are popular as well, but also royal names. So we have lots of Edwards, Charles and Harrys.

I believe there is some research supporting the theory that naming your child something unique affects their career prospects. I personally can't imagine a political or business leader named Jayden or Swayde

With the popularity of idiotic cartoon movies (laughable CGI) from comic books, I'm expecting a bunch of fan boys insisting on naming their night of drunken sex after those characters. Groot sounds like he won't get tormented in school, does he?
