Hello ladies and gents, hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s [name_u]Day[/name_u]. While most Berries have been gleefully (or woefully) reviewing the top 1,000 names in the US on the weekend, I have been busy perusing through the names that didn’t make the list (aka “Beyond the Top 1,000”). It’s been a long process because when I cut and pasted the list, I still had over 700 pages to wade through. The further down I ventured, the more my eyes began to water with all of the misspellings and kre8tif names. I will group the names into categories to make it easier to summarize. Most of the trends we see in the top 1,000 are continued and some names overlap between categories (eg. [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] is a surname, a place name, the last name of a President who was the subject of a film as well as a celebrity baby). The number of recepients range from 247 girls to only 5 girls. This list is completely subjective on my part so some of you may have different opinions on the location of each one. I am not one to tooting my own horn but…I would like to think that suggestions from the Berries was partly responsible for the more unusual choices. I recognize many names that are mention in the [name_u]Berry[/name_u] world. I had to split my post into two due to the text restriction to 10,000 characters long. Any comments are welcomed!
