which is why I said it seemed odd on this list. Only in this area would anyone think of the town in MD. Nobody outside this area even knows that town exists.


There's a Laurel in Delaware, a Laurel in Mississippi, a Laurel in Montana.... They're everywhere.


I looked this up last night - the MD "city" seems to be the biggest one out of about 10 total.

It isn't the same as naming your child after a large city or an entire state. Or a country, even.

whatever. I like it. I get that others don't.

Half of this list is a made-up mystery to me. Jacobe? Katiebell? Chasen? Tamlyn? Is this one family you know?


Totally believable.

Jacobe and Myers is a law firm, no?

A laurel is a bushy plant. As a name, it's less like naming your kid after a town and more like calling your child Daisy or Rose.

These are not made up names. I do feel bad for the kids. Hopefully they can change their names when they reach eighteen.

I can't stand the name Christie. Or Kristie. Or Krystle. Or any of that variation.

I wanted you to know: message received -- yet again -- on a public anonymous board. Your now deleted comments defamed our religion and our character but, not before I read them to my family. FYI.


Ooh - what did I miss five months ago?


Wait, what??
