Re: Joaquin
in reply to a message by molly
I hadn't noticed Joaquin being used by non-Hispanic families myself. (Is Ms. Ripa's spouse Hispanic?) I just checked my figures for Nebraska, the state where I have breakdowns by ethnicity, and there were 10 boys named Joaquin born in Nebraska in 2007. 8 of them were listed as Hispanic. Of course in a small state like Nebraska it's hard to say how significant 2 non-Hispanic boys out of 10 are. :) But certainly Joaquin Phoenix as well as Ms. Ripa's son could be introducing the name to non-Hispanic parents. Thanks so much for this discussion. :)
