babynamesHi everyone! I'm new here - just joined today- and I love baby names.
My husband and I currently have 1 daughter. Her name is Kristen Elaine Kadrlik. (pronounced Kud er lick - darn difficult czechoslavakian last name). Anyways, we chose Kristen for no reason other than the fact that we wanted her to have a "K" first name. And Elaine was my deceased grandmother's name. My husband and I are plagued with WAY TOO COMMON/BORING names (Mary and Matthew). We liked Kristen because it's not too common, but it's not like "Where'd they think of that?" uncommon. Kristen turns 3 next week, and we had hoped to be pregnant again by now but due to some medical problems I have to wait until August to even try to get pregnant. Anyways, I have a nephew named Jestyn (like Justin), and my sister is pregnant again. She's thinking of Alysha if it's a girl. I'm wondering what's with the "y" thing? I seem to see a lot of people doing that and if it's ever going to go away?
And if anyone's wondering - when we do have our next child it will be Kelsey Jane for a girl or Adam Michael for a boy.
Also here's a link I always find interesting.

However, Audrey was 78 in 2003. Not as cool.
And Dawson was 204 in 2003.
Ohio's top 5 male names are:
Jacob, Michael, Ethan, Andrew, Joshua. (Joshua will be our son's middle name because that's my Husband's first name.)
Ohio's top 5 female names are:
Emma, Olivia, Emily, Hannah, Madison. Woo! No names there!
My favorite feature was top names by decade. I'm freaking NUMBER TWO. *dies* God, I hate my name. I'm so glad I went by Jenna at an early age but still knowing that my name is Jennifer makes me nauseous.
