[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miles or Myles have got to be the most common names for boys in DC among today's teens. Seems like there must be at least 3 in every class. [/quote] My DD has the toddler girl's version of Miles -- Josephine. It is so, so common in DC. I feel like we meet another one every time we start her in a new class or group. My heart sinks a little each time because I have a super common name and really wanted to give her something more original. She's named for my grandmother. But I console myself with the fact that while we may have accidentally given her a trendy name in DC, it's not [i]that[/i] trendy of a name compared to my name (or really any of the popular names from the 70s/80s. She might grow up with more peers with her name than I'd like, but it's not like it's ubiquitous in the world. In the meantime, she mostly goes by Josie, which is at least a less common nickname than JoJo. Not much else we can do.[/quote]
