So I met a family today...

Asia, a girl, 8
Aspen, a girl, 5
Austin, a boy, 3

Then there was another sibset:

Colson, a boy, 8
Brianna, a girl, 5


I like Aspen a lot, but the others, I don't know. I don't hate any of them, per se, but I found myself going, "Wow, talk about those trendy 30-something parent naming patterns!"

Austin is the only one i like. Brianna is nms (seems like forever a little girl name), but it's not terrible. Colson is eh..makes me think of coleslaw. Asia and Aspen are terrible. the first set is particularly bad because they were obviously going for location names >.

I like Austin a lot, Aspen is okay, but kind of trying too hard. I hate Asia, Colson and Brianna.

Aspen is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I do like Austin. A good friend of mine has two little sons with the middle name Austin (it's steeped in meaning for her and her husband). Asia's just bleh.

Brianna is cute, but Colson sounds too much Molson (Canadian beer).

Asia is my name and I absolutely love it. I think I only love it because it's my name though. I'm pretty sure if I had never heard it before and someone said it I would think it's really ugly.

Aspen is the only one I like on the list and I would never use it.
