I've been out and about with my kids lately

I'll group them into sibsets (as best as I could tell...). I can only guess about the actual spellings as well.

Lily
Jacob

Jack
Claire
Nora

Adele

there was one girl whose name I can only speculate was supposed to be reminiscent of Isla? in any case, her mom pronounced it "eye-lee". I thought "well that's a new one. kind of like Kylie or Mylie or something, but lacking the first sound...

she had a sister named Kayla

and a brother named Hudson

then today there was a little boy named Hilton. that one kinda blew me away.


ETA: oh and I read about a local kid in the paper named Daylon. his older bro is Bradley. talk about different naming styles huh?

I'm kind of sad that Nora(h) is getting so popular. I guess I'll have to see how much it jumps in the next couple of years.

I like Ailie (which is how I spell "eye-lee")

I read about a man who's wife died while giving birth but the baby girl survived. He called her ily Maree Lastname. (pronounced eye-lee)
ily stands for 'i love you' and Maree was his wifes name. I thought it was so sweet.
