Colorado Tops In Weird Baby Names

In Colorado, there are times when we can be pretty weird. Blame it on the mountains if you want or some of the interesting plants that people like to set on fire here. But, we can be pretty out there sometimes. That is especially true when it comes to Colorado parents naming babies.

Did you know there are 61 girls in Colorado named "Ximena"? Yep. There are even 84 "Damian" boys. I guess those parents never saw "The Omen". Or, maybe they did. (*shudder*) There are more Colorado girls named "Daleyza" than "Josephine".

Here are the top 100 Colorado baby names as recorded by the Social Security Administration:

Thanks to the 73 parents that named their girls "Peyton". I'm guessing that's the high-voice Peyton and not the Denver QB who has DirecTV.
