A friend just made a status update on Facebook celebrating the arrival of her nephew, Zaigen Noel.  WDYT?

Also, a friend of mine from high school now has two kids and I think they are both boys, named Balin and Remmie.  WDYT?

balin and remmie are pretty cute when you speak them.

The only Z names that aren't weird to me are Zoey/Zooey and Zachary so I def don't like Zaigen. IDK, people are doing weird stuff with names and IDGI.

All of them are trying too hard for coolness.

Zaigen kind of sounds like a medication to me. "Talk to your doctor about Zaigen, and say goodbye to your allergies!"

I want to pronounce Balin as "ballin'."

I like Remy, not Remmie. And I like it on girls.

Not too keen on Zaigen, either.

I know TWO little boys, both under six: Baylin and Balin *facepalm*

Not a fan of any of these names

Balin and Remmie

Friend is French, y/y?

Zaigen sounds like it might be the start of a spin-off trend. Goodbye -aidens; hello aigens!

Zaigen made me think of a different twist on the -aiden trend, and now that I've seen it mentioned, I agree it sounds like a medication if pronounced zy-gen. I don't care for Noel.

Balin reminds me of ballin'. Remmie is cute as a nickname, but I don't like it as a given name.

Zaigen is so ugly--both in sound and looks! Noel is nice, however.

Balin is blah, but I do like Remmie--even though I prefer the spelling Remi.

Wouldn't surprise me. I saw a little girl on one of the TLC pageant shows named Kragen (yuck!)

I don't like any of them, to be honest. Balin might grown on me, though.

I'm wrinkling my nose at all of them.
