Wordless Wednesday: Baby Naming in Texas

I love to name things!  And by name things I mean babies and dogs.  I love looking at what celebrities are naming their kids and the Social Security Administrator’s top names list every year.  So it really cracked me up while shopping to come upon this display.

I guess only in Texas is Bubba such a popular name.  And after a quick look at the top 1000 names on the Social Security Administration’s list and the top 100 baby names for Texas, I still can’t find Bubba among them.  And yet it the only name on the rack that’s sold out.  Now I know that Bubba is most likely just a nickname but seriously, I’ve never met someone that goes around advertising Bubba as their nickname.  I forgot to check if Sissy was out of stock too.

Seeing that Bubba is such a popular name, tell me have you ever met a person named Bubba?

  1. I don’t recall every meeting a Bubba and I live in Texas LOL!

  2. Hilarious! No, I’ve never met a Bubba in real life!

  3. LOL too funny. Maybe it’s a new tag and they haven’t received them yet?

  4. Too funny!!

  5. The only Bubba’s I know are nicknames :)

  6. I have, but only as a nickname! Another dad in the NICU went by Bubba, in his 40′s!!!! It still cracks me up.

  7. Maybe they aren’t sold out, but just aren’t made anymore? Or reordered, because there is no demand? I don’t know a single person named Bubba :)

  8. That is too funny. I don’t know anyone with that name.

  9. My step-brother calls his son by the Bubba nickname, it drives me nuts and I refuse to use it, lol! I also know a few girls with the nickname Sissy :P

  10. Nope, no Bubbas in my life ever!

  11. lol

  12. HAHA Well it’s better then Honey BooBoo out here in GA!

  13. Ha! Well, I live in the south now and I still haven’t met any Bubbas. :)

  14. We have a radio personality (not on the country station) named Bubba the love sponge – Yes he changed his name to that. What frustrates me about the name things is I can never find my name or my sons name….makes me mad!

  15. I call my dog Bubba all the time. A human? Not in recent memory but then I live in the NW, it wouldn’t even be a choice up here :)

  16. That’s hilarious! That’s definitely not a common name around here.

  17. I lived in Virginia for four years and I did meet two people who went by the name of Bubba.

  18. April Decheine says:

    Nope never met a Bubba, know a lot of men that look like a Bubba LOL

  19. Nope, no Bubba’s here, lol. Or Sissys!

  20. omg that’s hilarious!!! I have never met a real life Bubba before!

  21. That is funny! I’ve know people with the nickname Bubba

  22. I know some Bubbas. It’s not their gove’ment name but that’s what we call them.

  23. That’s hysterical – makes me think of Bubba Gump Shrimp!

  24. I don’t know any Bubbas either

  25. Not anyone who was seriously called Bubba, no. Too funny!

  26. never not as a real name anyway :)

  27. I swear to you that I have that exact name plate sitting on my table right now!! LMAO!! My SIL has called my husband Bubba since she was little and our niece just came to visit us last weekend and brought him the name plate from her. So Funny!! Anytime she sees something that says Bubba on it she gets it for him. Maybe that’s why it’s sold out.
    My daughter (4 yrs.) is now calling my son (3 mos.) Bubba. I guess the Bubba torch is being passed.
