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 know plenty of Lourdes..es so I don't think it's a very "interesting" name. Never would have thought of Madonna. However, I do think of HEAVY LOURDE so I don't think I'd ever use it.
