Name choices that surprised you?

I recent found out that I have a twelve year-old cousin a few states away named [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]. I always thought it was pretty, but because of the connotations I figured most people avoided it. So seeing a young [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] was quite surprising and refreshing!

Anybody else experience a similar surprise?

My son’s new preschool class has a [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_m]Josh[/name_m], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_u]Sierra[/name_u], [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], 2 Sawyers, [name_f]Carys[/name_f], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], AND [name_m]Cassius[/name_m].

None of these names surprised except [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]. I wonder why I never had it on my list for my boys!?
