@ these baby names

[AJL]

I'm at my DD's ballet class. There are ten students. Three students are named after trees:

Aspen
Juniper
Ash

*smh*

Ash?! Like Pokemon?



Or I guess from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness?

LOL

AJL did you see a chainsaw hand?

There's a kid in my son's K class named Lucky.

I know an Aspen at church, but she is named after the city in CO.

Of all plants, why juniper? Those things are prickly and unpleasant.

I would be calling myself June by the fourth grade.

And poor Aspen has no recourse. Ass? Assy? Aspie? I suppose Penny is an option.

I had a girl in my class last year named Saquoia.

[EllieT]

At least it's Aspen and not Aspyn

(YesI've been watching way too much Sister Wives)

I think Ash could be from Asher, which is becoming a pretty popular name.

Nope. She's named after a tree. I confirmed.

Oh I also thought it was a boy.  LOL.  oh well. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt! (and I'm not a huge fan of Asher anyway ha)

I should back out of this b/c I totally think those names aren't that abnormal... I know one Ash that is a girl and another couple Ash nicknames for boys/girls. Plus I know one adult and several kid Aspens. Juniper is different, but not terrible. How can you hate juniper if you like gin?

Someone I went to high school with has a kid named this.

Because I have to prune the junipers around our house, and if I don't wear long sleeves and gloves while I do it then I look like I got in a fight with 300 angry cats.

Not gonna lie my first thought when I read this was Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo.

When I was at the mall last week, there was a mom with two daughters, NOT twins (they were clearly different ages) named Dallas and Austin.

So, I guess a Texan?

[redheadbaker]

From daycare:
Freedom
Kameron

Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of the kids have real, correctly-spelled names. Some of my favorites:

Oliver (we considered this for DS)
Willa
Annabelle
Leila
Jude

[marriedfilingjoint]

My kid told me there's a girl named Princess at her preschool but I have not been able to confirm this by checking the card stock apples on classroom doors.

I was relatively impressed with the "normalcy" of the names in B's class. The ones that stood out at me were Ottavia, Leticia, and Greta.

The boys were all like Nolan and Jonah and stuff.

[Velar Fricative]

DD's infant class has the most normal names I've ever seen. A few months ago, here were the names:

Alexandra (DD)
Kimberly (not a name you hear these days but nice and normal)
Theresa
Zoe
Liel (girl, pronounced Lie-EL, Hebrew origin and I like it)
Kyle
Nicholas
Anthony

BOOOOOOORING lol.

At my last contract, I worked with a woman named Lael (lay-EL). I thought that was really pretty and different.
