[Ads-l] [Marketing Mail] new masculine name

Mon Nov 28 16:45:16 UTC 2016

Rare, but not surprising as a blended form. According to Social Security's name lists, in 2015 there were 41 boys born in the USA named Danthony and 8 named Janthony.  (Some of the former may actually be D'Anthony since the SSA records ignore apostrophes.)
