I was kidding about “Isabella Caytlen” if it’s a girl or “Ayden Conner” for a boy. All four of those are from the top ten list, and two of them are misspelled. I'm gonna call the little squirt "Bob".

The godfather approves, they sound very good. Although I have to say as a comment to Clair..."Clair is a fat girl's name." Sorry, The Breakfast Club screwed up that name for me, as well as Brian.

We also discovered that when yelled form across the house her name sounds just like both my name and my wife's. The second time around we went with an Old Testement name. Common enough not to be weird, but she's the only one in her grade, so far. And, most important, it sounds different when shouting. <em>That's an important consideration.

In two grades we have:

Five “Catherines”.

Katarina, Katarina, Katerina, Katerina and Katerina. I’m surprised to hear that they are all first- or second-generation American, not just using some name that’s old-worldy.

Misspelled for creativity: Jennipher

And two, count ‘em two, Sydneys. Like the city.

Zoe. Written zoh, spoken zo-ey. Like they can’t stick an umlaut in there, at least for kicks, they’d rather correct every other Goddamn English-speaker they run into. And some other language-speakers, it occurs to me.

Anne, spelled ANN pronounced ANEE, Leah, spelled LE-UH, pronounced LEE.

There’s a kid named Falk. Like, the Brits got pwnd in the Falk’s, or, “his name is /falked/.”

We have a few Mayas, at you know, /Catholic/ school. To be fair, there are also -mans and -manns.

Rianna/ Rhianna spelled Reaunna. Roux-ana?

Shouldn’t make fun of a kid named Sanjay, but Dr. Quinn, Medicine Sixth Grader is up for grabs.

Conar. They thought two Ns would be too many. Otherwise, don’t parents sound out kids’ names to make sure they never, EVER rhyme with boner? The kid ever wears shorts and stand up at the wrong time it’s over until college.
