Ahem. I would just like to weigh in here on girl's names. I belive that I have the best one:
Baby Sister.
Yep. That's right. Baby Sister.
Going through med charts at work (which aren't de-identified due to the work I need to do) is always a blast and about a month/half ago I cam across Baby Sister XLastNameX. Seriously. I flipped through the whole 15-odd page chart just to make sure I wasn't loosing it and every single page had the same sticker on it with her name. Baby Sister.

I like older names too but I guess they are getting to be pretty common again. I was blown away when I saw that my grandmother's name - Evelyn - had surged to #71 for girls' names! I guess like most trends names go in waves.
I forgot that I like Kennedy and Holly too! All I can say is that we need a 5-year moratorium on the Kaylee/Kayla/Katelyns of the world, because I can't keep track of them all in my classes!
I also knew a girl named Mittie, which I thought was cute. And another girl named Sunny, which sounds totally hippie, but it suited her perfectly.
