At least, it happened in Arizona.
What am I talking about? Well, just in case you missed the headline, until last year, in Arizona Michael was the most commonly used boy's name:
Jose and Emily were the most popular names for Arizona boys and girls born in 2004.That word today from the state Department of Health Services after a check of birth records recorded by December 29th.
Jacob, Anthony, Daniel and Angel (AHN'-hel) followed Jose to round out the top five names chosen for 46-thousand boys born in Arizona in 2004.
AHN'-hel??
coming from a border state - and we ALL know what issues that presents...all I can say is....hmmm...
