- silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26@elbobosa- dang, way to put a bummer spin on a story that could have been mildly amusing.
why are first posters often so trolly? - newstart, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22One day we'll run out of names for kids. The metrological deparment should look into this issue.
Otherwise atleast geeks will start calling their kids "Version 2.0" - AmishRefugee, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25I think I speak for most of us when I say 'Ya Think?'
- Anth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18From the "No ***** Sherlock" dept.
- Chenny, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20Why are hurricanes named after women? Because when they come they're wet and wild, and when they leave they take your house and your car.
- NanoStuff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18"Germans stopped naming their babies "Adolph" after WWII."
Why, what did Adolph Gottlieb do during WWII that was so bad? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17"my name's timmy, what's your name?"
"katrina."

- silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -10/+24"my name's timmy, what's your name?"
"katrina."
"oh, like the storm?"
"no, like the ballet danc- oh never mind. yeah, the storm."
"haha! is your room really messy? get it, hurricane katrina? get it?"
"yeah. i get it." {punches timmy in nose, thus living up to her name's reputation} - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15What about the name "September Eleventh," is that an unpopular name now too?
- Pottersquash, on 10/11/2007, -6/+18wtf does battleloser have +4 diggs???
- gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12"wtf does battleloser have +4 diggs???"
Because there's nothing racist about his comment, perhaps? Culturally ignorant, sure, but not racist. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Thanks.
- Battleloser, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I'm like Mr.Colbert. I've moved beyond your petty ism wars! I can make jokes about people of other races without feeling bad about it, because that's how un-racist I am! Bruahaha
- Shootfast, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Stay away from that RTM!!
- kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11I bet there's fewer kids named Brownie, even though he did a good job.
- khag7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Java is not nice.
Look, same sentence. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8In other news, no one has named their kid George in 5 years.
- gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10way to castrate the joke.
- mauiwowi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I think you mean Adolf :)
- drcreek, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Same reason the name Chernobyl lost popularity in the late 80's.
- Joe_rigby, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7In other news, Catastrophe also isn't a popular name.
- JasonCox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Wow, Digg is turning into a repeat of the news I get on my cell phone 3 days before...
:-P - KnightMareInc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6will his nickname be jewy chewy?

Timmy: "You know what b*tch your name is very fitting, because you've f*cked more people than the hurricane!!
* Timmy storms out - gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Benedict literally means good speaker.
Hell, how do you think the Emperor owned the Jedis? - kickisaacout, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4i'm amazed that you would willingly associate yourself with such a person.
- bob555, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You can see the popularity of every name in this nice Java program from 1900 through today:

How many more Osama's were born after 9/11.
Actually, quite a few... - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/torvalds/
- weister42, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I know a girl named Katrina and she's a party animal, and hot too.
- Ender008, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I think Katrina is an amazing name, it's too bad...
- gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5"It's true, what's ignorant about it?"
The comment assumes that only American Caucasians use any rhyme or reason in generating a name (or that they just use a book). It doesn't assume that other cultures may have other factors in deciding a name. Little River is a name, but we'd think of it as a name pulled "out of [Native American] asses" (in this case) simply because we're not familiar with that type of name. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This isn't news!
- FortyCaliber, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3In unrelated news... Fewer kids are named "Bertha" or "Eunice"
- moogle516, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Yes lets dig this bastard down for having a supposed girlfriend.
- zombiedepot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Maybe they shouldn't give disasters human names.
- crashflow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2actually, kids with those names are plenty.
But when they get to age of majority, they immediately change their names...right after they bludgeon their own parents to death. - Hoogs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2...and this is supposed to be surprising?
- lava, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I used to know a guy with the last name bacca, people begged him to name his kid jesus. Apparently, the nickname for jesus is chui, so the kid would be chui bacca.
- AgentConundrum, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Yes, Brownie did a heck of a job indeed.
- beneathbrooklyn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i figure i'll name my offspring after ordinary things you find around the house...
"HEY SPOON GET YER DADDY A BEER, AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT!" - raybury, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2How is "George" doing?
- giid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1> I know a girl named Katrina and she's a party animal, and hot too.
Yeah, I bet she's a real wind storm. - goldliop, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1umm, im wondering why this is news NOW.
