Shayla - It's my daughter's name. I know I won't be able to find her name in those pre-personalized items that stores sell! BTW, it's her 1st birthday today!!!
I met a girl at some orientation thing the first weekend before I started college and I've remembered her name ever since because I think it's soooo pretty: Perea.
btw, happy birthday Shayla!

My neighbor named her daughter Grenelei - pronounced Greenlee. Yes, from All My Children. It makes me crazy every time I write her name.
With the exception of Avery I like girls' names that are more classic than trendy. I love Avery, but was informed by my FIL that it's an old tractor brand Sophia Grace Amelia Helena or Helene Carrine Eve, but my nephew is named Adam. It'd be weird to have Adam & Eve in the same family

That's the name of the hair salon i go to. Nevaeh....i like the name but i wouldn't name my child that.
i think it depends on the last name. since my bf's last name is pretty ethnic (ends in -ski), i am kinda leaning towards more ethnic names. i've always like madison, alexis, and sabrina, but i would never go with any of those if i end up with my bf's last name.

I love the name Sophia (my daughter's), but it's become way more popular in recent years. She was born in Italy, so we wanted to give her an Italian name. My Italian neighbor thought it must be a family name, he said it was a very old fashioned name over there. After she was a little older and we ran into more American Sophia's, I told him that it was popular with Americans and he and his wife were shocked!
