General Name Discussion

[name]Genevieve[/name]- a girl about 8 (first time I have actually heard name used)
[name]Oakley[/name]- girl baby born about 2 1/2 weeks ago at our church
[name]Blake[/name]- girl about 4 1/2 at playground yesterday (called Blakie as nn)
[name]Scout[/name]- sister of [name]Blake[/name] who was 1 1/2-2 seen at playground
[name]Zander[/name]- brother to [name]Scout[/name] and [name]Blake[/name] who was about 3 1/2 and seen at playground

Anyone want to add real names you have overheard children under about ten being called by in stores, playgrounds, etc.?

I’m doing tutoring, and the three seventh grade girls I work with are Attiya, [name]Alicia[/name], and [name]Alex[/name]…

[name]Jonah[/name] is a relatively new baby in my neighborhood, with older brothers [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Eli[/name].

I’m a nanny for a few families and the kids are…

[name]Griffin[/name] (4)
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] “JT” (3)
[name]Marin[/name] (6 months)

[name]Ella[/name] “[name]Elly[/name]” (8)
[name]Avery[/name] (6)
[name]Josie[/name] (4)

[name]Jasper[/name] (4 months)

And I also volunteer in the NICU and holy moly there are some nutty names in there. Next time I’m there I’ll make a mental note of some of them. Off the top of my head though Myi-ariah (pn my-area), [name]Axel[/name] (triplet to [name]Jansen[/name] and a little girl whose name I’m blanking on), Mykael (me-kay-el), [name]Nancy[/name] (not weird, just so dated for a wee one today [name]IMO[/name]), Kainaan (as in [name]Canaan[/name]). Of course there’s been a decent amount of [name]Joshua[/name]'s, [name]Elijah[/name]'s, [name]Jackson[/name]'s, etc. Only one [name]Ava[/name] though, shocking. And a good amount of more traditional names like [name]Mary[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], etc.

My friend told me her NCT class’s baby names today (we are in the UK). If I can remember all of them, they were: [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Robert[/name], [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Ruby[/name]. Mostly quite predictable, although you don’t see many [name]Roberts[/name] these days. I’m glad to see [name]Arthur[/name] on the rise.

I also met a [name]Georgia[/name] (first I have ever met) who was about 21 mths. and shopping with her aunt and I recently met a boy at a playground named [name]Brooks[/name] and a girl at the same playground named [name]Jasmine[/name].

[name]Seth[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Macy[/name], [name]Hannah[/name] (sisters)
[name]Bria[/name], [name]Cole[/name] (brother and sister)

[name]Ava[/name], [name]James[/name] (brother and sister)
[name]Abigail[/name], [name]Isabella[/name] (sisters)
[name]Jenna[/name], [name]Ashlyn[/name] (sisters)
[name]Luke[/name], Leyna (brother and sister)
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Aubrey[/name], [name]Rylan[/name] (sisters)

and many more…

My closest friends with children have a:
[name]Syerra[/name]
[name]Cian[/name], [name]Cadel[/name] (brothers)

It’s interesting that children with classic names have siblings with classic names most of the time. For example…

And those with crazy/weird (ugly, I might add, sometimes) are also in sibling sets. Like the [name]Scout[/name], [name]Zander[/name], [name]Blake[/name] trio.

Also interesting is that a child with a popular name right now will also have a sibling with a really popular name too…

These are all cute names, but really common now.
