I eagerly await the next installment on this topic.

I remember when I was pregnant I hated, I mean HATED, all the "new, individual" names people came up with for their children. At one point I was reading the editors section of a pregnancy mag, where the woman talked about her children: Bruklyn (boy) and Deevan (girl). I said to my husband, "Am I going to far by wanting to reach in to this magazine, grab the woman by the throat and strangler her?"
Major pregnancy hormones raging, but really? I am just going to say it, those names are dumb! I still think they are dumb, though I don't want to strangle the editor anymore. Great list!

It bums me out that Apple has completely taken off the table a perfectly beautiful Norwegian name!
