Rufus and Zadie

[jadeluxe.livejournal.com]

We called our son Rufus William, and our daughter Zadie Mae Victoria.
We chose the names from a decade-by-decade UK census. All the names were in the top 500 during the decade of 1880-1890. They've all been on a rapid decline since then, but we love them :)

I personally love Zadie. :D

Is there a link somewhere with that information? Like the US Social Security site that lists baby names by year? I'd really like to take a look at it!

I like William and Victoria. :-)

it's not sadie, though...it's a different name :)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh that's interesting! I'd pronounce it just like Sadie. How is it pronounced, then?

[jadeluxe.livejournal.com]

Well...phonetically :) Like Sadie, but with a "zzz" sound at the start.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see...I figured =). Well, I like both!
