Baby name "Jackson"
It's been my favorite baby name for a boy and it hit me how popular the it is! Today my coworker told me that his son's name is Jackson and that there are 4 Jackson's in his son's daycare class. Then I realized that I know about 5 other couples who have named their boys this, not including the Nesties who also have sons with the name, lol. Darn the coolness of the name! My yet-to-be-conceived baby boy might have to get a different and less used name... :-)
Re: Baby name "Jackson"
don't you hate that? being a lauren, i'm very anti super popular names. haha
i've loooved addison and ava for so so long...but their uber popular right now, so i'm steering away. i think i'll lean towards more traditional names. i'm loving katherine (kate) right now
isn't it funny how everyone seems to jump on a name and love it at the same time? it's crazy!
dh and I *love* the name Ava. It's one syllable, no possible mean nicknames...
I like Catherine, then calling her Cate.
I just like old school, classic names all the way around.
The names I see more than anything else for little girls are Lilli/Lilly and Anna Grace for girls and Carter and Jack for boys... but this is going by the names I see at work on a daily basis.
That's great! :-D How much time do you get off work? I bet it really does suck for the dads having to go back to work so soon.
Yeah, it's annoying when you like a name that gets popular. It's especially hard with boys names I think-so many of them seem too common. I have a couple picked out for the future, but I definitely think they are harder to come up with.
On another note, I am a big big fan of 'classic' names...I am ?glad they are coming back around in style, but still want to have ones that aren't too popular, if that makes sense. :-P
I'm not big into popular names. I want to use family names or something that I like or something that has meaning.
Lauren- I'm named after my maternal grandmother, Kathryn and she went by Kate for the longest time (but was not a fan of it), so the only way my mom could name me Kathryn (as she LOVED it and likes family names) was if I went by Katie or Kathryn........ hence my name. My middle name is my aunt's name (father's sis) and my sister is named for someone my mom liked and her godmother.
