So, I recently transferred colleges, and here are some of the interesting names i've encountered, most of these people are in their twenties, with one or two 18 or 19 year olds sprinkled in, i specified the sexes in italics:

Tatsuhiko (Tatsu) m - he's from japan.
Keegan m
Althea f
Rayne - f said like rain
Malon f
Kaya f
Marius m
Rodrigo m - from Chile
Brooke f

I'm not that into any of the names, I'm kind of up in the air about Keegan and Kaya, I might like them. I'm not sure.
also, my cousin had a baby a while ago, and i just found out his name is Ervin, its after his father, but i still think its a horrible name.

also, i remember reading this name in an article (about the womans society wedding) in Vogue magazine a few years ago:
Celerie
yeah. for reals.

what do you think?

I totally love Kaya!!!

one of the only qualms i have about it is that it was a famous strain of weed associated (grown by perhaps? i cant recall) bob marley. probably only music buffs and stoners would know that, but still. i couldnt name my kid after pot, no matter how much i like it.

this is funny because i just saw a book today by an author with the first name celerie. i remember hearing about her several years ago too. i actually kind of like it. in theory only.

i dont like any of the other names.

i know a boy and a girl named keegan. i dont like it on either.

it was probably the same person, Celerie Kemble is a writer i believe, on interior decorating or DIY or society stuff or something.

yeah, i think keegan feels fake-irish, though i'm pretty sure its genuinely gaelic.

I agree, Ervin/Irvin is bad. Irvinette for a girl is even worse. Sadly, I've seen it!

I like:
Althea
Kaya--is this pronounced Kye-uh? Just curious. If so, it reminds me of the wife in Willow. :)
Marius
Rodrigo
Brooke (but I'd probably only use it as a middle name)

the ay in kaya is said like the word eye, like kai-uh

I use to love Keegan - my husband liked it as well then changed his mind. Kaya is pretty. That's about it.
