Ariana- I'm bored of all the -ana names. This one reminds me of arachnid.

Ruby- I love it, probaby because it's one of my best friends names and she's in her 20's so it was rare when her parents used it. It's so popular now though, which taints it a little.

Tia- I don't really like T names, I don't like Tia at all but really like Mia.

Natalie- Really detest this name. The 'nat' gets to me.

Nina- Sounds like a fire engine.

Diego- Pretty cool.

Noah- Love, but it's a bit biblical for me to ever use.

Tanner- I hate the surnames as first name trend, this is ugly.

Clifford- Same as above.

William- Argh this name is so ugly & boring I can't see the appeal at all.

Zsofia (nn Zsozsie)- A tad confusing in the world of Sophia/Sofia's but I know this is lergitimate. I don't mind it.

Ruby- Another one, of course!

Kaelani- Tacky

Nahela- Looks made up.

McKenna- Probably the most ugly, unfeminine, name ever, plus it's a surname. Why?

Violet- Gorgeous

Jack- So boring, this has been the number 1 name forever in the UK, I mean for 50 years or something..

Luke- I much prefer Lucas

Madison- What would a classroom be without the obligatory Madison?

Lauren- Meh

Josué- Not bad, not my thing.

Cody- Not bad, not my thing

Isabelle- Pretty, but popular. Much prefer this to Isabella.

Josiah- Too religious

Ellie- Annoying and whiney sounding.

Dahlia- It's quirky and unusual, I wouldn't use it but its lovely to see on someone elses child.

Teague- Euw.

I don't know about the real world, but, besides the two Ruby's in my class, there's at least one other Ruby in the preschool program. I was actually surprised to see so many of them since the only Ruby I'd ever known before then was my Mom's best friend, who would be in her seventies now. However, most the parents at the school are bobo/boho Portlanders, so that might be part of it. Either way, I think it's a really pretty name.

Its very popular in Australia and seems to be going up the list fast internationally.

I love the name too.
