A while ago I read the NB blog about finding names on Facebook, so recently I was inspired to try it out myself. While of course there were tons of Jessicas, [name]Matthews[/name], and Ashleys, I was really surprised by the wide variety. I thought I’d post some of the names I found that I rarely/never hear even on NB and see what you ladies thought.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the friends I looked at were all my own age, so the people these names belong to are most likely in the 20-30 age range, though of course I can’t guarantee that.
So, what do you berries think? Are there any names that you think would have the potential to become popular? Any names that you like, but think (or hope ;)) will never become popular? Any names that are just terrible all around (I’m looking at you, [name]Adolf[/name])?
