I also know a little girl named Pepper. So cute!

I know an Alistair toddler. I know it’s an old name but it honestly sounds super pretentious to me every time I hear it.

I know an Isla, but pronounced the Spanish way (ees-lah). Beautiful!

I also know a little boy Niko. Not Nick/Nicholas. Just Niko. Kind of odd.

Nico is a surprisingly popular name in certain circles. Three in my child’s school.

Is Isla unusual? I know two, both of Irish heritage.

NP and I don’t think it’s unusual in 2023. I know two baby girls named Isla. It’s a pretty trendy name right now.

Isla is very trendy! I know four.

The oddest name I’ve personally encountered is Fenix.

There is a Greek community in my area; I know elementary school kids named Artemis and Electra (different families) and my son went to school with a Demosthenes. I guess those names don’t sound unusual to native Greek speakers.

My cat is Artemis.

I also know an Atlas.

Father was a James Joyce scholar. Terrible name. Worse dad. I wonder if he goes by John now.

St. John / Sin-Jin like in Jane Eyre?
