So I am walking along in the Target parking lot, and I see this gem.

Might be a bit large for some.















Now, Hailey, Aaron, Jesse, and Daisy, they are names I can get behind. Not my style, really, but nice none-the-less. But Hercules? And London? Not so sure. What do you all think?

I like London. A friend of mine has 2 daughters, London & Camdyn. I think it's a good sibset. And I also love the name Paris, but I'll personally never use it.

What's up with Jesikah & Jesse? WTF @ Hercules. Those parents must be on some pretty strong crack.

Okay, now I'm going to be chanting "HERCULES HERCULES" from the Disney version the rest of the day. I guess they were into Greek Mythology for that one?

As for London, I love it. Consider it a guilty pleasure if it's that unpopular but I like it :)

London is a total guilty pleasure for me, but Hercules and Jesikah are :(

I love Camdyn, but much prefer the spelling Camden.

Is this in North Carolina? Just curious, because everyone down here seems to have those on their vans and SUV's!

Maybe they are two sets of kids from previous marriages because the naming styles seem to be very different. How do you get names like Hailey and Aaron in the same family that has children named Hercules and London!

Ah, must be a national trend then, haha. My husband and I are considering getting one just to make people scratch their heads--it will just be me, him, and our cat. :)

Hercules and London just don't belong...

I see them all over in Maryland too. A lot of flip-flops ones here as well. The best one I've ever seen was a penguin one. I don't think I'd ever have one of them but if I did it would be the penguin one haha

I actually kind of like the name London, as a guilty pleasure, but it and Hercules certainly don't go. Aaron is wonderful though.

"jesikah" reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgW5M08GQ8c XD (sorry for not knowing/remembering how to embed :/ )

daisy is cute. i wouldn't use it, but the name has worked for everyone i know by that name.

ps~ yay target! :)

One daughter got a nice European city, the other got a mispelling of one in New Jersey...

I like how they sound and do think they make a nice sib set, but I feel bad for Camdyn, she got the worse of the two locations.

London is a guilty pleasure of mine...like some other peoples!

Hercules is awful. Some Greek Mythology names are okay for children, but most are not. I have fuzzy children named Zeus and Poseidon. Iw ould never inflict that on my real children.

I think that's slightly weird because Camden is part of London...

Jesikah and Jesse? Now there's a recipe for confusion.

I rather like Hercules - I don't imagine I'd ever use it, but I much prefer it to some of the modern trendy names.

I'm going to guess that Jesikah and Jesse are twins.

Either that or, what I'm hoping and praying, Jesse, Hailey, Aaron and Daisy are from one previous relationship and Jesikah, Hercules, and London are from another.

Why would your first two be Jesikah and Jesse? Surely if you were going to repeat similar sounds it would be after a couple more goes of naming?

It's an interesting variety of names. Hercules does seem the most out of place.
