Bailey, for a boy? I'm sure it's a unisex name, but jeeze, it sounds bad. And Ruby Rae? Nigel..pfft. Most of those are pretty common.

I think of Bailey being normal for both a male or female. lol. I also love the name Ruby Rae and she is the most adorable girl- ever. I agree with you on Nigel though! Its badddd.

I think it's trendy now for girl's but in my mind it's a boy name only. *shrug*

Nigel is really weird for a girl.

Apart from Nigel for a girl, I can't really see how these names are significant? Nigel is really horrible though and whilst i love Ruby, Ruby Rae is a little too much...

If you found a reason to comment on the post, then the list was good for something. Sheesh. The names don't have to be "significant." It's interesting to see what kids are really named--daycares are a better indication than a social security excel sheet, IMO.

I was just going to ignore their comment but you did a pretty good job responding though. haha.

Question though. What does IMO mean/stand for? I see it all over lj and still dont know what it is!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound nasty. I do agree that daycare places are good indications of current names.
And does IMO = in my opinion???

By the way, i love the kitties in your icon :)

Nigel is bad enough for a boy. People use the term nigel here sometimes to refer to a loner - "Nigel no friends!"
It's unbelievable on a girl. I've heard of Nigella, which would be somewhat better I suppose.

Boys:
Josiah - I like it!
Dylan - Ok, not horrible, not my first choice
Matthew - Love this name
Christopher - Love this name
Nicolas - Love this name
Griffin - Could take it or leave, right up there with Dylan
Edward (Eddie) - It's a family name for me, so I don't dislike it, but I'd never use it.
Bailey - Sounds like something I'd name a dog.

Girls:
Isabelle (issy) - So pretty and classic, can't go wrong.
Ruby Rae - Sounds like ruby red.. like a grapefruit. Yuck.
Helena - Love it
Nigel- This is an awful name for a girl. bad enough for a boy.. but for a girl.. just say no no no no!

Cheers. :)

I agree with your comments on every name.Oh wait, not Ruby Rae. Nigel is for sure the obvious bad one.

Josiah - love it although it's popular now :(
Dylan - like it a lot
Matthew - my daddy's name and a planned middle name!
Christopher - my hubby's name, and also a planned middle name!
Nicolas - I prefer Nicholas.
Griffin - LOVE THIS. Cannot convince the hubby.
Edward (Eddie) - Meh. NMS. Clearly familial
Bailey - for a boy? Ew.

Girls:
Isabelle (issy) - I prefer Isabel, which is on my list.
Ruby Rae - oh Lord. Where are you? Alabama?
Helena - This is on my long list. I love it.
Nigel - OOOh strange!!!!! I'd go by Ni, pronounced Nigh.

lol! in response to Ruby Rae, I live in Victoria BC Canada. Its kind of a hippieville. Not what I imaigne Alabama to be like-at all. haha.

Matthew - i like it, but its a bit popular/ boringish
Christopher - dont like it

Girls:
Isabelle (issy) - love the spelling

Helena - hate it
Nigel - blah ergh yuk. her parents clearly wanted a boy.

Nigella Lawson is a famous TV personality Chef type in england.
