Talk:Genesis (given name)

Virginia 2022
this name gets a passing mention in a very minor set of statistics. the inclusion of this in the lead is undue trivia. Gugrak (talk) 05:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not “undue trivia” to note that a name is particularly well used by a certain ethnic or cultural group. The state thought it was noteworthy enough to collect the information. The name is also more popular in other Spanish speaking or Hispanic populations like Puerto Rico, Chile, and Mexico than other places. It is sourced and I object to removing it.

 * Just because something can be sourced does not mean it should go on wikipedia. This is one small sample at  given time, there's no real reason to include it. Gugrak (talk) 07:08, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It does not mean that it should not. The state statistics bear out what the other stats from Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Chile state. It’s also notable that most of the well known people named Genesis are Hispanic. I object to removing the sourced information. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 07:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Spanish name
I edited the article to indicate the Spanish spelling (with the accent mark), since behindthename.com lists the two names separately, and counts one as English and the other as Spanish. Since the majority of the people listed as having the name have the accent mark and are of Hispanic origin, it seems like calling it an exclusively "English" name is misleading. However, I don't know how reliable behindthename.com is, especially since the variant with the accent mark is user-submitted. Hominid77777 (talk) 18:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
