Hey Baby Names! (newbie)

[smbetts.livejournal.com]

My name is Sarah. I'm new here. From a little girl, I've always had a name list. It began because I used to like to write little short pieces of fiction and I liked to look up names and their meanings for my stories. After I stopped writing as often, I kept the lists, adding and deleting names over the years. I wish I kept copies to see how my list has changed over time.

What's frustrating to me now is that I used to like names that weren't so common. Now, lots of my favorite names are in the top 100 of the SSA list (ugh!) So I'm curious to get into this community more and see some new name ideas and keep on keepin on with my list. And no, I'm not pregnant (nor married) although i hope to have 3 kids someday.

Alexander is in my top 4 boy names. Although if I end up choosing that I plan to call him Xander.

I totally hear you with the names changing in popularity. My favorite girl name since I was like 10 has always been Addison. Now at 25 and pregnant it's popular :/ I still want to use it, buy I'm soo torn!
