Girls Names: Adjectives and Nouns

 

Here is a list of names bestowed upon American females in 2011 that are adjective and nouns. This list does not includes months of the year, seasons, birds’ names or even some of the regular words that one can find in any dictionary of the English language that are already commonly accepted as proper first names, such as Joy, or the commonly accepted virtue names like Faith, Hope, Charity, Patience, Honor and Chastity.

Variants of these names were not included either and, believe us, there are plenty. Just for the name Miracle, we found Amiracle, Ahmiracle, Jamiracal and Lamiracle, which first showed up in U.S. birth records in 1996, a year earlier than Jamiracle. And even that doesn’t mean no one ever used the name before 1996. It just means that 5 American girls were not named Lamiracle on record before 1996.

Some of these names, you must agree, make for some rather amusing and unusual introductions.
