Is her middle name crimefighter?
I was at a party where two little girls were named Moxie. You could tell the parents were each a little bit miffed at the other set
That's hilarious.
You just made my day. I love
It when people who take great effort to be unique find out that they aren't actually that unique or creative.
If you want a truly unique kid's name - go with Linda/Lois/Steve/glen. Moxie and lucky are as trendy as a McMansion in 1995

I also know someone named Gay Horney. It's for real. Would you not change your name?
She is a realtor here in Silver Spring. i have been getting her mailings for decades.
I wonder if the DMV would issue her a vanity license plate with her name on it.

Ainsley has always been a boy's name.
It's considered a unisex name now. I've known 2 Ainsley's, both girls and both under 10.

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.
Pronounced “eye-luh” or “ees-lah”?
I’m the one who knows two Irish-heritage Islas. They both pronounce it “eye-la.” I think someone up thread mentioned it’s also a Spanish name with a different pronunciation which I didn’t know.

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.

Not so odd. Isla is not odd either

You don't work in a school with a large Black popularity do you?
Np. My son is 11, and I've met several since he's been in daycare and school. Probably more white people than non white.

Bunny. That’s her legal name, not a nickname.

There was only one kid with that name in the US that year, so I know it’s the same family. How will that kid, who goes by an extremely common middle name, feel when she reads newspaper articles making fun of her name?! The parents are from abroad and the name totally makes sense in their culture. We need to stop Name shaming. Yes, I used to think it was funny in my twenties, but we’re parents now. Be nice to the damn kids, people. Sheesh.
Woke much?
Gonna bet you are the Debbie Downer at parties.

Odd? This is actually in a comment for such a diverse area of the united states. Niko/nico/nikos is a popular name.
