Why isn't the name "Nimrod" more common these days?

That's my middle name. My dad says "hey, nimrod, get over here!!!"

Whats in a name? Character, something you remember. Nimrod simply was a rebel against God. He is the reason the languages have spread through out the earth. He was the first to get involved in religion and politics. So why would anyone want to use a name that has bad references for their offspring? Life is hard enoughf. So thats why not so many out there.

For some reason I think garage sales bring out the stupidity in people. Everytime we have a garage sale, there are always those few that leave their common sense in the car. We've had people ask to use our bathrooms, try to steal things right in front of our face, let their kids roam wild and get into everything, they'll bring stuff back the next day and expect a refund, try to pay with foreign currency, and the usual...you have something marked at $50, they want it for like $30, then pull out a HUGE wad of cash right in front of you.

I have read where people have Nimrod as a last name. A former state senator from Illinois is John Nimrod.

I'm not sure but I went to high school with a boy named Nimrod, everyone called him Nim!

edit: I also went to school with a guy named Chad :).

Actually, Nimrod was a mighty warrior before God. He was one of Ham's kids I believe, but am willing to be wrong.

The quail of doom would like to see a resurgence of the name Rasputin

Oh no, I thought that was the name of a fundie pastor I used to know.

I wasn't even aware until just now that it was a name, I thought it was just slang. LOL

LOL, it's more of an insult than a name I guess.
