2. Me, either.

An obstetrics nurse friend told me she is seeing a lot of baby girls being named “Nevaeh” which is Heaven spelled backwards. Pronounced. Ni-VAY-ah.

4. "Donald" has fallen to #553. That's the lowest the name has been ranked since ...

the creation of the list, which began in the 1880's.

I wonder why?
