This is probably a weird post but I'm curious..

What do you think of the names teenage mothers give to their child(ren)?
Do you think it's possible to tell wether or not a baby was born to a teenager by his/her name?
What names have teenagers you know given to their children? Are they all Aiden/Hayden/Braedens & Addison/Madisons ?

I agree with this, because I've known plenty of young mothers of various ages (teens to early twenties) who have given their children ridiculous names, while others have given them much better names.

In high school I knew a girl named Navis who named her son Sivan, which was her own name spelled backwards. Recently I had some not-prepared-to-be-parents friends name their daughter Dillyn McKenzie - ech! I wouldn't mind it so much if not for the stupid spelling. A friend's teenaged sister name her son Dylan, which I think is nice, and her newest daughter Grace, which is also nice, which aren't idiotic, but are both quite trendy names.

I really wish more people would get back to old-fashioned names, as well, and that has happened somewhat with the resurgence in popularity of the flower names, Isabelle, and Grace, but I hope more parents will branch out further in that direction.
