I think it's weird that Ashley is still common. it seems so 15-20 years ago.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

yeah. it's definitely an 80's name, but i noticed that people still use a lot of names from the 80's that were really popular, like jessica.

I love Iris

[gangwaygirls.livejournal.com]

Lizeth? U 4GOT SUM LETTERS LOL

Vivian's pretty.

Willie? Not William? Guh, that drives me nuts.

I'd bet money that Johnpaul was because of the Pope.

[traezer.livejournal.com]

Yes, Im sure it is...but its, well, dumb! I mean, the Pope's names where two distinct names, not one long one! It made me lol.

i like:
rex
jasper
daphne
vivian (although i prefer the french pronunciation & spelling: vivienne)

The parents of Izayah obviously forgot to take their Bible to the hospital as a spelling reference.

Several parents never heard of the concept of nicknames (Aces, Maverick). And others confused names with titles (Prince, Princess, Junior).

And some of the names aren't bad. I like Dexter, Atticus, Vivian, and Daphne.

vivian sounds high-maintenance but i like it
daphne is nice

Okay, to me the weirdest one on there was German.. wth? That's a nationality, not a name for a person!

[hoboheart.livejournal.com]

I know a guy named German, but it's pronounced as 'Ermaan' he's spanish.

Trace, Case...I'll never get the appeal.
Gilbert, Milton...SO old-fashioned, IMO!

Chastity is a name I just cannot stand.
