Having checked out animal names given to children in the United States (see previous articles), I decided to see if anyone had been given a cryptid name. The result was surprising. The numbers are approximate.
Bigfoot (8) Mermaid (15)
Unicorn (11) Sasquatch (2)
Monster (10) Yeti (20)
Godzilla (7) Dragon (280)
Mammoth (4) Thunderbird (5)
The name Yeti may have come from a surname that had nothing to do with the Abominable Snowman.
