Two children with interesting names today. A 5-year-old girl named Lourdes, which of course makes me think of Madonna, and I'm not sure how I feel about the name, but she was cute enough to carry it off. The other was a boy, maybe 8, named Adam Etheridge {Lastname}-- he apparently goes by Ridge. I'm guessing maybe he's a junior? I can't think of any other reason to pass up a perfectly fine name like Adam. I think Ridge is a bit soap opera-y, but it's miles better than calling him Etheridge. If he is a junior, they've probably chosen the best of their options.

I really like Lourdes. I'm not wild about the Madonna-connotation, and the town is nice but it wouldn't be my main reason for naming a kid that...I just think it sounds great.
