    Betsy - NMS

    Kennedy - I like it, but spelled Kenadie to separate from the President. I recently added it to my list actually. 

    Virginia - NMS


    Abraham - NMS

    Lincoln - NMS, this has become pretty popular though

    Reagan - I like it, but I like it for a girl (and I again spelled it different, Regan, not sure why just must have been the way I saw when it struck me as cute)

  • I LOVE Betsy and Abraham (or Abram). The others are good names, but none that I'd use. The only one I'm "iffy" on is Kennedy. Probably because I've seen it spelled so many stupid ways that it makes me hold a grudge against the name as a whole, even with the correct spelling :)

  • I don't care for any of them.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • Girls:

    Betsy - No thanks.

    Kennedy -  I like this, but it seems to be getting popular again.

    Virginia - NMS

     

    Boys:

    Abraham - NMS

    Lincoln - Love it! Absolutely love it!  It's on our short list, but H's sports car is a Lincoln.  So he thinks it's too cliche. :-(  Also our last name ends in "in" so it wouldn't be the best first name, but I'm still going to push for it as a middle name.
    Favorite with it is Miles Lincoln M-----in.

    Reagan - I actually really like this, but we live in the town Ronald Reagan was born in and that's all our town is known for.  So we probably shouldn't do that.

    1000 Comments 500 Love Its Fourth Anniversary Name Dropper

    Betsy - Nope.  Not even as a nickname.

    Kennedy - I kind of like it...as a boy's name.

    Virginia - I love it, but I don't think it would get used.


    Abraham - Ewww.  No.

    Lincoln - Cute, but NMS.  One of my friends named her son this.

    Reagan -  NMS.

  • I love Kennedy, but that really lowers the child's chances of actually marrying a Kennedy so that's out. I don't care for the rest.
    I don't consider Kennedy a girls name. I mean, I know girls with that name but I think of it as a predominantly boy name. Maybe because I immediately think of the Kennedy men - the strong, all American man.
