Like so many others, I am not pregnant or planning on have kids for awhile, but I'm obsessed with names, and have been since as long as I can remember. Here is a list of the names I like (most favorite on top)- just wondering what you think. Also, if your mother had named your sisters "Noelle" and "Juliet" and then named you "Matilda" or "Agnes" would you feel... I dunno, cheated, like your name was too simple or dumpy sounding? :o) Also, these are for both first and/or middle names.

I'd feel glad she hadn't named me Madlynnemackinzzzyson in order to make me yoonik, personally. Of course, since my parents/their siblings names are Kathy, James, Karen, Martha, Paul, and Adam, and my name is Meagan (my cousins are Kirsten, Karla, Rachel, Rebecca, and Anders), there's not exactly a gap in the preconcieved notions about the names.
