  2. I find it interesting that the expecting parents (Duggars and Bates) rarely give their child a Biblical name. As devoted Christians, I would think they would give their offspring names from the Bible.

    1. They’d probably run out of names, LOL!

    2. Naw. Someone would get stuck with a name like Philemon or Zipporah.

  3. Well, this is possibly the worst milllenial-created name yet! That poor child!

  4. As a resident of the NYC metro area, all I can think of when I hear this name is the jail on Rikers Island. They should seriously reconsider using this name.

    1. Naw. Just think about Star Trek and Commander Riker instead.

    2. First thing I thought of! Plus, Cruise as in Tom, for a middle name ? To each his own.

    4. It's OK because they spelled it with a Y so that makes it totally not Riker...

  10. You know how you used to be able to go into any five and dime store and find a little bike license plate with your name on it - Sue, Ann, Tom, Bob, etc.? Or find a souvenir with your name on it while on a trip? Well good luck doing that for any Bates or Duggar grandchild these days.

    1. 8:14, I remember those! My name is uncommon and I always wanted to be able to have a name like Diane, Susan, or Nancy so I could find in on one of those little license plates. Those were the most popular names back when I was growing up in the Dark Ages.
