I had always sworn I won't tell anyone (meaning immediate family/close friends) name picks until we have a child. Both my husband and I have had our top combo per gender for years. We'll a few weeks ago while on vacation at my parents a discussion of names came up and I mentioned how my top male pick seems to be slowly raising in popularity and I didn't like that. Of course my mom asked what the name was and I broke my little "promise" and told her. The reaction wasn't exactly a raving praise, more like um really? Hidden quickly of course.

Now I am really wondering if this is the name for me. Granted I don't care if people (even my parents) find it odd or simply don't like it; though in a very small way it does matter. The fact from 2005 to 2006 it raised 92 spots in popularity and I have seen it mentioned in articles about names doesn't really please me either. Especially since it'll be about 5 years before we will have a family, who knows how popular it might get! Than there is the religious connection to it and for an agnostic do I really want that? The child or myself/husband might hear comments like "Oh from those bibles right?"

Yet I simply love the name!

What's your perception of the name Brenda?
I'm not crazy about it, but it could grow on me. Middle name suggestions are appreciated!

I also re-discovered a great liking in the name Azra, I've heard it in a slavic movie about gypsies (love!) and it stuck with me. Too bad I can't pronounce it, I keep saying Az-dra, especially in italian. It's weird because I don't have trouble pronouncing Ezra!

I went to school with a girl named Shaina

She has 3 older sisters, twins Sheena and Shauna and one other, Shona (I'm not sure of the spelling but it's pronounced Show-na).

And they have a little brother..Shane

So: Shaina, Sheena, Shauna, Shonna & Shane.

It's amazing the things you get used to. This doesn't even seem that weird to me anymore.

WDYT? Do you know any families that named their kids this way?

Interesting...

I was messing around with the SSA stats for the decade I was born (1970s) and came across some interesting names for girls in the top 1000 - 

( Girls )

And for boys-

( Boys )

I left off the names I have come across before, although I have come across Maria, Kimberly, and Michelle (spelled differently) on boys and I love James on a girl. I've heard the "female" versions of some - Roberta, Johnnie/Johnna, Christine/a, etc but I must admit I've never met a woman named David or William:)
