Okay so my cousin is having a baby and she was totally planning on naming her Savannah Gabriella. Which I know, I know.. Its very popular but I was like whatever its not THAT bad, ill just call her Hannah and that will be cute.

So today she told me that she changed her mind and now she is going to name her.. But before I tell you the name, let me remind you that I live in a small town in RI where the "trendy/creative" name trend hasnt really been a problem with newborns.

But apparently it has because she is now going to name her.. Nevaeh Grace.

Omg. Shoot me now. How do I tell her nicely how bad her child's name is going to be. She was telling me how beautiful it is and she saw it online and never heard of it before.

Harsh comments, but I do have to say that my bias in seeing those names is that the parents are quite young. They are modern soap opera type names.

If she started with names like Savannah Gabriella (too heavy a combination for my taste, but good names separately), then there is hope. How about gearing her toward names in the same style but with lighter sounds, like Siena or Liliana or Jessmina? I think there is hope yet.

My cousin is about 35, and she already has two kids, Brittney and John. So i dont know why she is going so different in her names. She is also with another guy this time so many thats different.
