Yeaaahhh....that's my dad's name. And my mom has a gender-neutral name, not as common as some, but it's the female spelling.
The only verboten name because of a student (both of my parents were teachers at one point) was Mark. I would have been a Matthew, and that would have put six Matt/Matthews in my grade. Three Sara(h)'s as it was...and a boatload of Jenny/Jen/Jennifers.
I actually posted a pic on Facebook about a month ago because they were shooting on my street. I guess they went to my neighbors place (I live in a duplex) and were scouting for a location and wanted to use his place until my ***** landlord nixed it because she wanted a bunch of money for it.
I think they've wrapped for shooting at this point, but I've come across it three or four times. I live right down the street from the zoo and they usually use that parking lot for all of their trucks and stuff, so I can get a good idea of when they're in the area filming. Twice now I haven't been able to get into/out of my parking lot because they were filming right in front of my house.
Yep, Sarah and Jennifer were HUGE when I was a kid. Lots of Matts and Mikes too.
Not a lot of Jeffs, but enough.
Every time my dad would see the original Hawaii 5-0, he would search the scenery for anything he recognized from being there during WWII. And we would always tell him it has been decades and it has to be a lot different. Always wished I could have gotten him to go back.
That's cool, aside from the landlord being a *****. I don't watch much anymore, too many male characters.
Wtf Cowgirl. I thought you were using my name for your kid so you will always remember me after I stop stalking your house?
Hey. We're talking about names. Let's try to stay on topic.
both yours and Vike's names are on the list. This was pre-both of you though. But I was talking about girl names.
My internet addiction is like crack for my inner sloth. I need to get outside and clean up all of the hail induced vegetation debris. It's kind of a mess out there.

She finally came to the conclusion that the day you stop is the day you die, so she'll always have you anyway.
My daughter's name is Talia (first syllable similar to the "a" sound in Nadia).
It's not very common, but I have seen it a little more lately. Adrienne from "Rocky" is Talia Shire. Otherwise, if you're a Batman fan, Talia is the name of Ra's Al Ghul's daughter. No, I did not name her after either.
We were going to name her Malia (muh-lee-uh), but a friend of ours named her daughter Malina 6 months earlier. I ended up switching the first letter and annunciation and ended up with my daughter's name. I still like the name Malia quite a bit.
Even with our first, I was looking for meaning first then name/sound/initials ect....
I am not sure how much I trust some of those websites. A few of the girls names meant husband killer, or something else with a negative connotation.

Malia (or some variant of spelling) feels like it's one of the most coming female names over here. I had 6 employees that either had that name or had kids with that name.
Someone I know named their son Tyrion. At the time I had not watched GOT so I had no idea how to even pronounce it. I also had a friend have a young relative name their daughter Sansa. Another friend already had an Aria so wasn't thrilled with the rise in popularity. That is at least a name I can see outside of a fantasy tv show.
I have a fairly "common" name but my parents were 30 years ahead of the 'y' trend. I used to not like the spelling of my name because you could not find it on a key chain or any other "personalized" item. I like it now for its uniqueness. All our girls' names could be found on keychains, although 1 out of the 4 is not as common (but is trending up).
OT on the names. This week is teacher appreciation week at the schools. Volunteers are providing a meal tomorrow, what do you think I volunteered to bring? Dessert of course. Just made 4 dozen cookies and one big sugar cookie bar that will get frosted and cut. Only went through 1.5lbs of butter today.
