    Isabella                                 

    I feel sorry for the kids named by Twihards.  How many of those Isabella's are going to be "Bella's"? From what I know (admitting I have not seen the movies or read past the first few pages of the horrible first book) Bella is not someone I would want to name a daughter after. Oh well, at least there is no Renesmee (is that it? I just remember seeing it in some review and I thought it was horrible ) on the list, YET.

     

  • Why do people still insists on using Jayden?  Every Jayden I've ever met has been born to trash (usually underage).

  • I'm shocked and thrilled Joaquin's name isn't on there. I mean, Gone and I both named our kid the same thing and that's two out of the what, four TIPers to have girls? I still love her name and it means a lot to us, but I'd still be kicking myself a little.

    I have this same fear about Baby Fuss's name. Every time I hear someone else has given their baby the same name, or was even thinking about it, I have a little panic that it's going to be the new "thing." Maybe it's because I have such a painfully common, er... popular name and I've always hated that.

  • When I was growing up a lot of kids were named Erin so I always had to use my last initial in school. I like the name (easy enough to pronounce, short, etc.) but would have liked something unique.

    I really dislike the aiden/jayden etc. names. Ick.

  • The little dude's name is on the boy list. Thank god it's not a "rhymes with Aidan" name. Anything that rhymes with Aidan, that is NOT Aidan, irks me. 

    I really like a lot of the girl names but suspect by the time I have any hypothetical kids, there will be something like 8 Olivias per classroom at school, and I don't want to do that to my kid.  

  • I'm with you, Fuss. There were always at least 2 of us in the classroom, if not 3. I got to the point where I stopped responding to my name because most of the time people weren't actually talking to me. Everyone I know from high school and college calls me by my last name.

    Haha, I do this too! People always seem to think this is crazy or rude, but it's sanity preservation as far as I'm concerned. I think we have the same name. (Figures.)

    Of course we do. We were probably born in the same year, give or take 2, as well.

    Agreed. Hayden is a family name for H and he's like to use it, but I'm on the fence, even as a middle name.

  • I seem to be the only one, but I'm also sick of the "last name as first name" trend.  Such as Hudson, Luxton, Daxton, Dixon...barf.  
  • Several of our family's short list made the top 10.  IDK why though.

    Our reasoning behind the choices are quite personal, but certainly not due to twilight.

  • I'm surprised (and happy) that DS#1 name isn't on there. B's name isn't either.

  • Would it be weird to give an Irish name to a boy that will have an Italian last name?

    Nope. My FI has an Irish first name and an Italian last name. And my favorite boy names are all Irish.
