If we have a girl, we plan on naming her Mary Virginia for DC, which is my grandma's name. Yes, we are Catholic and Southern. I have friends who met playing kickball in Adams Morgan. Their kids are Millie and Nolan after two bars where they met playing kickball. I also have friends that met in the Senate as staffers whose twin girls are Kennedy and Kerry for their bosses. I have other friends who met in Georgetown in a running group and their daughter is Georgia and a friend that met on the bus on M street whose daughter is Emma.

I know a Montana, December, Brimmer and a Tiverton - all names of places relating to where/when they were born or conceived.

Not if they're all talking about the same Waverly

Simmer down Waverly's mom. It's still special

Other than that, there's no more than 2 of each name. Honestly a name that's popular isn't that bad. All those Henrys seem just fine to me.

These are kids age 6 and under though.

Trust me, as someone with a popular name, it sucks to be "Popularname Lastinitial" your whole life. Those Henrys are going to be "Henry C." "Henry K." "Henry S." until they die.

Really? I'm a 1980s Jessica and it never bothered me.

I know some Zanes. I love Juniper. Love it. Even if it's trendy.

I wasn't brave enough for clover as a first name, but we considered it as a middle name for our second who was a happy surprise after many years of secondary infertility. I think it's adorable.

I dated a lennon in hs. He was a player, but cute.
