KENNEDY  

Gender: M
Origin: Irish
Meaning: "misshapen head"

This has become such a trendy name for girls -- almost three thousand of them were born in the last year counted -- that its manpower has diminished, despite its obvious tie to the thirty-fifth president and the once-shining image of Camelot.

Canady, Kennedey, Canaday
