[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, there's an interesting thread over on the Expectant Mom's board about recently named babies.  I count at least 8 or 9 Sophia's so far (although some may  be the same baby, since we DCUM's probably know people in common) but there are also some less expected choices.  A few interesting ones so far:

[b]Girls[/b]:  Frida, Georgia, Liesel, Margaux, Natasha, Nina, Selma, Sylvia and Talia

[b]Boys[/b]:  Ari, Desmond, Eitan/Eton, Enzo, Jerome, Matteo, Nolan, Otis and Rocco

jeezus--those names are atrocious![/quote]

Are they ALL atrocious??  My DS has one of the boy names listed above ... and I love it even if others do think it is atrocious ... but just curious ...

I also like several of the girls' names above.  [/quote]

I have all boys so I really tend to only look at the boy names:).  Some of the girl names are not bad.  Personally, I think you can get away with a lot more when it comes to girls' names.  We always had a 2 page long list of girls' names...but when it came to boys we could only come up with 1 or 2 we could both agree on.  It doesn't help that my sister already had 3 boys...and my SIL 2 by the time my boys came along..with first and middle names that was already 10 good boy names!

With boys you don't want the risk of it sounding to feminine or 'non-substantial' which I think a lot of the newer-names tend to be.  I am of the 'John, William, Michael, Andrew, Henry etc' preference though (which also happen to be family names)- so take this with a grain of salt.  Someone like me is never going to like "Rocco'.[/quote]
