This web site is really silly fun. http://projects.ajc.com/names/list/ It's baby names (back to 1990) in Georgia, and prompts many amusing puzzlements, such as:

Why did someone name their child Badger?
Why did TWO people name their children Cobra?
Was it homesickness, or I-liked-the-sound-but-didn't-bother-to-think-of-the-implications that caused five people to name their children Somalia?
Did the ten people who named their sons Courvoisier drink a lot before conception, or after the birth?
Michelob. W. T. F?
Queenaureyaunna???
Why couldn't little Emily-Madison-Inez's parents make up their minds?
How do you pronounce K-P-R?

There are 982 Caspers under 19 in GA, most born since 2002.
There are 961 Dillos, and the name is steady at about 60 a year.
