Alumni Babies and More

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Okay, so the holiday weekend distracted me from posting a follow up to my list of graduates from my alumni magazine. Here are the birth announcements from the magazine.

(Josh, Colby) - no newborn, just children mentioned
Kennedy Marissa
Gabriel (Carlyn, Nathan)
Callette (Lyla)
Barron Carl
Henry Lukas

One of the parents is named Braxton. I found that interesting because the name wouldn't stand out in today's birth announcements, but those sort of names wouldn't have been trending so much when he would have been born.

I overheard a woman call for her daughter Gemini in a bookstore last week. While it's not something I would use, I think it can work as a name. It definitely works better than some of the zodiac signs would.

I was looking to buy a new phone recently and the young woman who helped me was named Jazmane. I kept wondering if it was said "jazz-mane" or if it was still passed off as Jasmine, but I never did ask.

A lovely family I follow on YouTube just welcomed their third baby over the weekend. They have quite an...interesting naming trend.

Their first is a little girl named Jacelyn who is 3, followed by Kacen, a boy who just turned 2. The new baby, a girl, is named Peyson.

It has got to get confusing in that house...

ETA- The 3 year old picked the name and then the dad picked the spelling.
