Actually, old fashioned, simple names are making a comeback from what we've been told. We named our son Jack Charles and soon found out that Jack has apparently become a very popular name again. Re: chic names ....Ive also noticed that people are going with simple names, but different spellings just to be different .....Jordje (George) .....Lessa (Lisa) .....Michael (Mikeal) .... as far as im concerned ....if you want to make a name unique, just add a "La'" or a "De" in front of it ....seems to be quite popular these days
I swear to God, every third girl born between 1978 and 1982 was named either "Jennifer" (Jen) or "Kate."
Why don't you just call him Jacque for that extra je ne sais quoi. If I had a son, I was going to name him "Austin" but that's almost as pretentious as Taylor. Almost.
If you want your boy to be among the first called by his teacher, give it A something, like Alex. If you want to cultivate his patience, call him Zachary.
not that you should take any of our advice about this, but... what happened to the "first name then last name" thing instead of "last name then last name" (like the one's listed above). if you're going that route, why not just call it a day and name your baby "hernandez" along with what ever your last name is? edit... forgot... my choice is "abel"
I'm a Michael born in 69 so in first grade music the roll call started Mike A, Mike B, Mike C. I'm not kidding. My wife and I started our family in 00 and we chose classic names, Margaret Louise and Maxwell Lloyd. By accident both of my kids initials are MLB. (Hope they both like baseball) When we were in the hospital with our second, Max, I was walking the halls late one night looking at names and noticed how many of the names were just made up crap. There was one poor kid named Arizalbeth. It looked like they let George Jetsons dog Astro name their daughter and he wanted Elizabeth but didn't know how to spell it. I think there should be a law that if they don't sell your kids name on those little bicycle liscense plates that they use to sell at astroworld then you shouldn't be able to name you kid that name.
My old Russian professor told me that there used to be the law in Russia, under the Tsar, that you had to name your child a name derived from whichever saint ruled the month that child was born in. Lenin freed the parents from that rule and so there was a generation of Russians with names like "Electron" and "Daughter of the Revolution." Stalin put the old rules back in place. I've like the names Thurgood for a boy, Ruthie for a girl and Wiley for either.
