list

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd post my latest list of names here. Just a refresher: not expecting, not planning on expecting any time soon. I just like names, ones that usually fall into categories labeled as "classic" or "modern classic", and that are not made up or spelled to creatively. Popularity does not scare me away, either. Nicknames (as in, would actively be referred to by said nickname) are in parentheses.

how can you love Aidan but call Andrew too common?

Andrew has always been common, there are Andrew's everywhere, young & old. My boyfriend's name is Andrew! I guess Aidan is new trendy.. I don't know many Aidan's so was it not for being religiously reading babyname sites I wouldnt have a clue about Aidan's popularity.
There obviously has been a surge in popularity but it's nowhere near Andrew status.
