[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK - so thinking of my mom's group of friends we have a Louise, Maryanne, Leslie, Diane, Berta (yikes!), Patricia and Amelia. I guess Amelia will always be around, but I don't know if I'm ready for the rest. [/quote]

Well there you go. I have my future daughter's name picked out now: Berta. Guaranteed to be the only one![/quote]

I don't know.  I was thinking of Matilda for my daughter but I've now met three of them!  (But I'd spell it the French way, Mathilde.)[/quote]

Matilda is Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams' daughter--I think that's what sparked the trend. But for the love of god do not think you are avoiding being trendy by giving it a clever French spelling that everyone's going to mispronounce. That's annoying in 8 million ways and a big hassle for your kid. If you like the sound of Matilda, go for it (with the spelling commonly used in the U.S.) and don't worry about the trendy factor.  If you absolutely must use a non-phonetic French spelling, you should move to France. Or at least Canada. [/quote]

Maybe s/he's Canadian, or from a French background.  There are white people in this country with backgrounds other than Irish, you know![/quote]
