In my last Why Not 100 post, I offered up 68 pictures books for 68 of
the most popular girls’ names these days. Now it’s the boys’ turn. Again, I’m
focusing on picture books specifically. That means no James and the Giant Peach or Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory. And, of course, personalized book series don’t
count either.
And there are currently popular names that haven’t attached themselves
to book titles over the years. Can someone write a picture book about Brayden?
Jayce, maybe? Carter? Colton? How about boys named Christian or Hunter or
Parker? Is it possible that we can’t
locate a book title about Evan?
