Just got my best score of 13678 with one within 3km, did another and got 5000 and everything was in the Americas, so picking Spain and a Greek Island didn't help....

<a class="bbc_url" href="http://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/parenting/baby/77382551/Bogan-baby-names-2016-revealed">http://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/parenting/baby/77382551/Bogan-baby-names-2016-revealed</a><br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><p>
Is he a Brogan or a Jathon?<br><br>
The Aussies have come up all class in this year's list of bogan baby names and can proudly count among their people some Truely Younique lifelong labels. <br><br>
The annual list of "Best Bogan Baby Names" kicked off in 2014 when writer Sabrina Rogers-Anderson put up a list of names she said were meant "as a light-hearted joke". The backlash was strong, if not unexpected, and rather than bowing to public pressure, Rogers-Anderson has once again released her list. <br><br>
"I believe we all have a bit of bogan in us that we should embrace and celebrate," she says. "In that spirit, I present to you the 2016 edition of my best bogan baby names list."<br><br>
And boy is it special. Here's her top 10, in no particular order...<br><br>
ARYAN: Awkward. Just so awkward. It's difficult to say whether it would be more or less awkward if the lucky child was fair-skinned and blue-eyed, or if it was ironically...not. You know, because of that whole holocaust thing. <br><br>
BROGAN: Like bogan, but with an extra letter. In case you're wondering exactly what a bogan is, Google define says this: "an uncouth or unsophisticated person, regarded as being of low social status." Urban Dictionary takes it a step further and says bogans are "hideously repugnant and unintelligent", living in state houses with a penchant for Holden and Ford. <br><br>
JATHON: Presumably the parents of this poor wee tyke have a written lisp or incredibly poor spelling skills. The ultimate slap in the face will be the development of a real lisp for the unlucky Jathon, thus compounding his misery. "Ah no, that's Jathon with a T-H."<br><br>
J'ZAYDEN: One step up from Aiden, Brayden and Jaiden, this one takes the cake. Impressive use of the apostrophe. <br><br>
BEAUTIFUL: Spelled correctly. Hopefully the kid does turn out well in the looks department or playground torment will be special delivery. Kids understand irony too, you know. <br><br>
CHERYLDINE: Gold. The perfect fusion of Cheryl and Geraldine, presumably. <br><br>
ENIVID: What? Wait. Yes! It's part three of the bogan backwards spelling trend. Part one was Neveah (Heaven) and part two was Traeh (Heart). Just let that settle in your mind. <br><br>
KYLY: Assuming it's pronounced Kylie, this is a real lesson in how to avoid those pesky vowels. <br><br>
TRUELY: You need the extra E for this one. Truly just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. <br><br>
YOUNIQUE: The best of the best and the ultimate in bogan nameology. Nuff said. <br><br></p></blockquote> -
