from our census today on my pediatric floor at the hospital...

We had a couple uncommon names today so I thought I'd mention them here just for giggles. I wish I could look up all of their middle names. Some of them are listed, but most of them are not.

Theron (newborn male)
Haven Francine (4 year old female)
Darby (4 year old female)
Navarri Delano (4 year old male)
Leighton (11 year old male)
Mayte Sage (12 year old female)
and Navaeh (3 month old female) -- Mind you, this doesn't spell heaven backwards like the way everyone else on the bandwagon spells it (seriously, I have seen at least a dozen babies in the last two years named Nevaeh). I asked the mom if we spelled the baby's name correctly three times and she said it was correct. It was verified on the insurance card, too. So lol@her for mispelling heaven backwards.

For some reason, Theron actually appeals to me and I don't know why!

I kind of like it, too. As a matter of fact, there's a pulmonologist with the first name Theron that makes rounds at the hospital. So I guess I see it as a sophisticated/smart name.

i like Theron, Haven, and Leighton.. :)

Theron is my nephew's name, a friend's baby's name, and the name of a news anchor in Washington state. And of course, there's Charlize Theron, but I'm not sure that counts. Anyway, I like it.

I know a Leighton who's around 20, but I'm not sure I really like the name. He goes by Leigh mostly.

I don't like the rest of the names.

Theron makes me think of Charlize Theron..
but I don't guess that's a bad thing.

I love the name Darby for a girl! Neat!

Theron..that name will forever make me think of Theo Fleury (although his name is spelled Theoren). I used to love him. haha.

Darby is a dog's name..to me. I grew up next door to a boxer named Darby. I actually kind of like the name on a kid but it still reminds me of a dog.

Maybe the mom just liked the name Naveah and it had nothing to do with it being (almost) Heaven backwards.

I used to want to name my future son Theron when I was in highschool.
I heard the name from the hockey player Theron Fleury

Theron is such a guilty pleasure for me. XD I know a guy who spells it with an A too - Tharon.

hah, my best friend sBF is named Theron... I had honestly never heard of that name until last summer when I spent it in NJ with them.. odd.

I had a cousin named Theron, pronounced THER-on. He died a few years ago at the age of 65, so I guess the name's been around a little longer than Charlize.
Hm. The internets says it's Greek, and means "Hunter". That's nice.

I named my Grandma's dog Theo after Theoron Fleury. lol

Re: Navaeh - I'm guessing that the mom's seen this name around as often as you have, and wanted to make a kr8tiv name even MORE kr8tiv, LOL...
