	No one names their kid Gilbert anymore? THAT'S a headscratcher!

	Funny story...I have a niece named Alexandria. And I used to live in Alexandria, VA. When she was about 4 years old I told her: "I used to live in city named Alexandria". She looked at me and said: "You used to live in my stomach?". :)

	I've never met a person named Dallas before. Is it a regional name?

	Who names their child Phoenix?

	@Geo1 Hi! (has never been to Texas) Also I'm totally naming my kid Kyrgyzstan just to screw with future Sporclers.

	I tried Milwaukee in desperation.

	If you're naming your kid after some city that you've never been near, you're crazy.

	There are SOOOOO many other cities not on this list. But, yes, the absence of Gary is pretty bad.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 18:37 GMT		4 points
	Well, of course Gary may be a more popular name - but if Wikipedia is to be trusted, the city of Gary is just way too small to be included.

	Regarding the name Gilbert, it hasn't been in the 400 most popular names in the past decade (its peak position since 2000 was #527 in 2000). As to the "absence of Gary," I don't know what the quiz creator's cutoff for populous cities, but Wiki (using the 2010 Census figures) says that Gary, Indiana only has a little over 80,000 people (in 2000, the city had just over 102,000). And it seems that Indiana is the only state with a "Gary" of any sufficient size. The name (using that spelling) has also suffered a decline according to the SSA--down from #275 in 2000 to #494 in 2011, and being outside the Top 400 since 2008.

	Great quiz. As usual.. I miss one I should have tried.. my own niece's name...geez. Challenging.. really made me think on that one.

	f--- it I'm naming my son Colorado Springs.

	save_ferris15:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 19:50 GMT		8 points
	I saw AZ and wondered if people were naming their kids "Surprise".

	I thought about Gary too, but according to the source, Gary has not been among the top 400 baby names since 2007. Phoenix has been in the top 400 every year since 2008. Eugene was 504th in 2000 and has faded since.

	The decline of our society can be directly linked to less people being named Gary and Eugene. It's science, look it up.

	You can also see the decline of society if you go to the city of Gary, IN. :)

	Just imagine having a kid named Phoenix!! What the heck?

Comment below threshold: show it

	what, no Walla Walla?

	bookworm75:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 23:28 GMT		1 point
	I suppose Cleveland Brown isn't a great namesake for kids, so my city will never be on here.

	Sixtytwobobs:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 00:32 GMT		1 point
	For some reason when Gilbert didn't work I tried Glendale. Maybe that will catch on.

	jago706:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 01:03 GMT		2 points
	I'm surprised Augusta, GA didn't make this list, as it currently has more people than Savannah. Also, no Warren, MI or Eugene, OR.

	tennis17:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 01:06 GMT		1 point
	I also think Gary should be on the list... that and Eugene (if its popular enough)

	jeffg3wksapart:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 02:26 GMT		2 points
	I wonder how many of those who have one of the names on this list had parents who were big fans of the tv show which featured a popular character with that name (is that non-spoiler obtuse enough)?

	I wanted to name my son Philadelphia. My wife told me to...well I can't say what she said on here.

	That moment where you miss the city you were born in (VA)....

	cmkeller:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 07:40 GMT		4 points
	In addition to some surprises that others have already mentioned, I was expecting to see Irving (TX).

	cantthinkofaname:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 08:38 GMT		1 point
	I guess Gary, IN isn't populous enough.
