Looking at Mrs. Bee's post on top baby names made me realize that I have been much more concerned about having less common names for a daughter than a son. Our daughter's name is not common but not unusual, and that's what we were going for- basically, a name you've heard of, but have never met anyone who actually has it.

Now that we're getting ready to think of names for the new baby, I'm looking for the same thing for a girl, but when I think of boy names, I seem to like more traditional ones, which are more popular- and I'm ok with that! Anyone else seem to have different naming standards for boys and girls?
