Lots of names on there that I'm SICK of hearing, that's for sure.

For boys I like the classic ones on the list: Michael, Anthony, Daniel, Christopher, Joseph, David, James, John. Wow, I'm surprised to see John on there. That was my father's name and my brother's.

For girls I like: Elizabeth and Sarah. The others I'm sick to death of. Madison is like my most hated name of all time. Addison just sounds like a disease to me. Isabella is over used, so is Olivia, which is too bad, as they are pretty.

I agree on the Addison = disease thing...because it is a disease. JFK had it. I would not want to name my daughter after an adrenal condition...or after the street Wrigley Field is on, for that matter...

Wrigley Field is the best reason ever not to use that name, oh man, I died!
