Hellobee Boards

@ShootingStar: my grandmother (b.1928) and great-grandmother (b. around 1890s) were both Natalie
(ETA born in what is now Ukraine)

I think it's a pretty even mix. In B's music class there is:
Max
Ruby
Eden
Russell
Lilah
Crosby
Owen
Jack
Harper
Molly

That's all I can remember off hand. I feel like most are pretty classic. I live in Baltimore though, so we have our fair share of hipster names, too.

@Mrs. Jacks: It's a little too royal for my taste. There's a long line of kings named Gus

@littlejoy: @Mrs. Jacks: I was thinking the same thing about big babies!

@SugarplumsMom: I studied abroad in Sweden while in college - I couldn't believe it when one of my classmates told me there was an approved list of names parents could use

I don't always check out the name threads but this one is fun, I like seeing the preschool class lists.

Most of the people we know gave their kids names from their cultures (eg. indian/chinese/japanese) so LO is one of the only kids in her daycare and our group of friends with an English name.

@erind425: I love that your LO is a John who goes by Jack, as I am an old curmudgeon at heart and just can't get on board with people using nicknames as names.

A mix around here, in our circle we have a:

Brandon, Nathan, Mason, Mila, Rachel, Anjelina, Anthony, Ryan, Lucas, Joseph, Brennan, Gage, Mateo, Savannah, Theodore, Ethan, Kylee, Landon, Solomon, Naomi, Kaylee, Rylee, Henry, Brayden, Jayden, Alexander, Reagan, Natalie, Charlotte

Not really...there are a lot of Jack, Jacks, Jackson, Jaxons. Two Kates, lots of Haleys, generally pretty generic names.

Ours seems to be a mix. We have: Ricardo, Vera, Lucas, Lincoln, Kyndall, Abilene, Hyla, and Elsie.
