For boys: I've always liked Aidan, Caleb
Some other names I've come across and liked: Dante, Matteo (or Mateo), Rylan For Girls: I've always liked Anna, Ana, and Kate. Simple but cute. I really like the name Esme. |

Emma has GOT to be the most annoying name I've EVER heard. Had to say it. |

Dante?? Really? Do you not know the literary reference? Or do you just think your child would enjoy being associated with Hell for his entire life?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante) |

My son is William, and I have yet to meet another one. Is it really popular? Maybe it's a DC and not a MD thing. |

I also have a William (Will) and I have run into MANY since he was born. I am in Arlington and I know for the year he was born (2005), William was the most popular boy's name in both VA and DC. I still love the name though and it fits him perfectly. |

| Also, Aden, Aidan is also very popular. |

With the popularity of the Twilight series, I'm sure Esme will rise in popularity!

| Why do people want original names? I like classic names best. |

| Sorcha. They're all named Sorcha. And they all have magical powers. It's amazing. Oh yeah, and we have a Dixie. So 12 Sorchas. 1 Dixie. |

Lots of Italians and Italian Americans name their boys Dante. And Inferno is only one part of Dante's Divine Comedy. Purgatory and Paradise are the other two. |

DS (3.5) had several Alexanders and Alexandras in his class last year. Got to the point that he'd pronounce the names as "alexanDER" and "alexanDRA" with a last name so I could figure out who he was talking about.
We run into a lot of Henrys and Sophia/Sophies, plus several Chloes (and I have at least 3 friends with daughters named Sophia and Chloe). I know a lot of Maggies as children of my friends, but DS hasn't had many peers with that name. Lately I've met a number of little boys named Chase who ranged in age from 6 months to about 4. |

| Dante is a fine name. It's not associated with Hell, but rather with what is often considered the greatest work of literature in the Italian language. Dante was the brilliant poet who wrote The Divine Comedy, not a character. |
