Obama Mania is already starting. A baby born today in hospital I work at was named Barack!

[Obamarama]

In a generation I wonder how many young adults will be proudly going through life with the name Barack?

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Cool!!!

[JuniperLea]

2. Awesome!

I see this becoming a trend!

[bluemarkers]

6. I love your peace sign

can I save it?

off topic but wanted to ask. :)

[JuniperLea]

11. Sure!

I'm still trying to find the artist... I lifted it from the InterTubes and I can't figure out who created this! So many people on DU have asked about it. Whoever the artist is, well, they ROCK! And they could be making a ton of money off this creation! I want something to hang in my kitchen window... can you imagine the colors it would throw?

Edited to say, it's called Cosmic Peace... that's all I know.

15. It's available as a window sticker at this site

http://www.purplemoon.com/Stickers/space.html

The person running the site says in the FAQ, "For more information about any of the stickers: email [e-mail]"

So you might be able to get it for your window and ask who created it as well.

[JuniperLea]

19. Wow! You have terrific InterTube and Google skillz!

Thanks!!

[bluemarkers]

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. I predicted this many months ago.

There'll be a lot over the next eight years.

[medicswife]

5. I am so jaded and good at stuffing tears that nothing has cracked

my facade today, until this.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

If my husband and I could have more, we just might name one, Barack.

[KittyWampus]

7. many babies named Baruch. Same difference. Sad so few realize.

[mecherosegarden]

8. Lovely...

Barack= blessed .

Just beautiful. Why not to be proud! I think that Barack is a pretty name. Different .My name is Mercedes .People think I was named after a car but I was named in reference to the Virgin Mary, Santa Maria de las Mercedes .Some of my sisters were not as lucky as I was .


:-) :rofl:

[FatDave]

9. A funny name no more!

This sure feels like the beginning of a new era.

[Libby2]

10. Yay!! I love it!!!

[Lisa0825]

12. Cool :-)

I hope more will be named Hussein too, to take the stigma off a name that actually has a positive meaning.

[unblock]

13. i have a cousin named barak, so the name never seemed funny to me.

only the spelling is different.

[DawgHouse]

14. That's a nice story!

My grandpa was named after the Democratic Socialist candidate, a few days before the 1912 election.

[asdjrocky]

16. I knew it!

I called this a couple of weeks ago. Trust me, he won't be the last. That is what cool is about.

[AZBlue]

17. A friend of mine is getting a puppy tomorrow - I'm trying to get her to name him Barack.

Or Obama - either one.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

18. I love it

When Muslims congratulate someone, we say "Eid MuBARAK" or "Shaadi MuBARAK." Pronounced a little differently, but sharing the meaning.

[Canuckistanian]

20. Wow

This may be the start of something beautiful.

[mwei924]

21. It's like when Harry Potter turned Harry into a super popular name

[IndyOp]

22. I've been waiting - eagerly - for this - it is gonig to be a Barack-bonanza soon! (n/t)

[BlooInBloo]

23. :)

[InvisibleTouch]

25. I almost named a puppy from my B-litter Barack.

Born in June. Oh, was I tempted. But there are so many crazies hereabouts, that I didn't want to risk someone taking out their twisted political ideology on a little dog. In 4 years and in 8 years, it'll be a popular name, no doubt! But I don't think I'll have a B-litter again anytime soon. :/

[codjh9]

26. Awesome! BaRack the Vote! :^)

[and-justice-for-all]

27. Wonderful! nt

[MadMaddie]

28. I love that!!

[progressiveforever]

29. Many Baracks will be born in the coming few years

[applegrove]

30. That is so amazing!

[Essene]

31. oh lawd, he BETTER win now

[camera obscura]

32. You know, David Plouffe's wife has been due for a few days

They could at least make the baby's middle name Hussein... okay, maybe not ;)
