That must be a fun job! These names are very interesting. Some I expected, some I didn't.

For the boys, I was surprised to see Keaton and Jesse. I've only ever heard Keaton as a surname. And I don't know any Jesses under the age of 30! I liked all the other names though.

For the girls, Saara, Adanna, and Tikanni. I would never guess that Saara is pronounced like Laura... I would have pronounced it like Sara / Sarah. I've never heard of either Adanna or Tikanni. Do you know if Janey is short for Jane?

Cool post! This was very interesting to read. :)

YAY! There's a Yasmine... with an "e"! We're making progress, people!

^_^


I love Jesse, Eli, Austin, James, Liam, Jonathan, Tristan, Gabriel, Keaton, Owen, Jackson, Samuel and Patrick.

For the girls? Zoe, Abigail, Anna, Claire, Helen, Faith, Janey & Ava.

I don't dislike Edward & Madison, but they're not my favourites.

I like most of those names. Actually these days I like most names that don't sound made up. It's good to see :) I've been doing prac in a nursery at the moment and the names are similar. I was happy :)
