anyway...

parents: heidi and aaron
kids: aliya and dylan

parents: jason and heather
boys: ari, eli and wyatt

i am pretty sure ari (AR-ee) is a full name, but i am not sure about eli.

I'm a fan of using names connected to friends and family [either the real deal or variations].

What do you think of the name Spencer for a girl? It's one of my faves!

Also, in general, what do you think of using names for girls that are typically used for boys? I love Dylan and Shane for a girl too :)

So, I was flipping through the channels and saw an Olympic swimmer named Jessicah. I don't like the name Jessica to begin with, but I think that the H is completely unnecessary. As well, when I was watching television I saw a teenage girl named Dar-C. Ew.

But WDYT?

Saw this on the MSN UK front page.

What it's saying is pretty obvious - as naming trends change and time goes by, certain names that have become old-fashioned will fall out of use as the older generations die out - but I wanted to get your opinions on the names listed.
