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.

Date: 2005-01-18 11:30 am (UTC)i think that "y" thing is cool but to a point... i know some one whose daughter is "alyshia" - i like it but i think it could could have pronunciation issues.... but i dont think "y" idea is good for a boy... too feminine looking!
