I just started working at a childcare center.

A sample of baby names:

Yoyo
Indie
Mirabelle
Tyler
Jack
Jackson
Toryn (m) (tor-IN)
Wylan
Arthur
Sophia
Annabelle ('Annie')
Mei

The day I met Yoyo and Indie was pretty much my favorite day ever, but I started thinking about how hard it's going to be those girls when they grow up.

My favorite from my preschool has been Carys. (Pronounced like Paris, but with a C). For a really long time I thought someone had named their child after Paris Hilton and then when it was corrected I thought some parent named their kid Carrots.

I actually like Mirabelle, Annabelle, and Sophia. I love Jackson, too. I work with a Mei.

I guess there is no hope that Yoyo is an ethnic name?

[searlait.livejournal.com]

No way. Pretty little blonde girl with bright blue eyes and parents were without accent. I live in Portland, Oregon. You just learn to accept those sort of things when you come across them.

Does Indie wear little Chuck Taylors and have a Fisher Price vinyl collection? Or perhaps she's a child prodigy who writes for Pitchfork Media? Does she refer to peanut butter and jelly as "overrated," ants-on-a-log as "pretentious," Juicy Juice as "existential"? Is she really into Jim Jarmusch films? Does she watch IFC's "Short Film Showcase"?

Poor kid.

Is Mei of Chinese heritage, by any chance? How is it pronounced, like 'may'? It is Dutch for May, actually. I like it on Chinese kids =)
Yoyo is bad. Indie is kinda cute. I once read about a girl called Indy. But I like Indie better. Oh, and is Wylan Dylan with a 'W'? ;)

lol. I could see it as a nickname for India, though.

I like Indie (sp. Indy) but I always see it as a masculine name. Also, I've thought about naming a pet that, so I'll always have that connotation. lol. I still like it!

lol. =]

I can only imagine this conversation in the future:

"Hi, I'm Indie."
"Pssh. I bet you are..."

On repeat. For about ten years.

I have a cousin named Indie; it's short for Indiana. While I love my cousins a lot, I still think they were on crack when they named her.

Jack, Mirabelle and Sophia, however, are love. Classic names ftw!

I grew up in Portland! Yeah City of Roses.

I really like Wylan. It is different with our being too out there.

Mei means "pretty" or "beautiful" in chinese. it's pretty common for chinese names. :)
Yoyo is also not that uncommon on chinese girls.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

=O that makes me like the name Mei even more! =)

[searlait.livejournal.com]

No.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Thank you for clearing that up.

She's actually really sweet so I feel sort of defensive in a weird way..? Her mom was pretty General Population so I don't think it's meant to be in honor of the music genre.
