Two Things

#1 - I think you ladies will enjoy this one. We just hired a new receptionist and yesterday at lunch I got to talking to her. When she told me she had two children of her own, I asked her what their names were. She replied, "Abercrombie and Sterling." They are both boys. Indifferent

#2 - I added more names to my names list and reset the votes, so tell me what you think!

Yikes!

Also, I voted - I like a lot of the names. I really like Violette, but I would spell it Violet. Otherwise, it will be misspelled every time.

Abercrombie...really? That's just bad.

lmfao! If she was gonna go that route, "Fitch" would have been cuter.

Most awesomely bad name at my high school:

Bonjovianna. That's right. Bon Jovi Anna.

It's the French version of Violet, pronounced "Vee-Oh-Let."

I actually knew this nice, old cowboy named Sterling, and I always thought his name was cool. I don't think I would name my kid that (maybe a mn?), but oh well. Abercrombie is ridiculous!

I knew a Sterling in college. I always thought the name sounded pompous (and, unfortunately, it fit the person).

I also knew an Abercrombie... but it was a horse! And a mare at that.

Ah, well if it is pronounced differently, that makes sense. Although, knowing that, I might steer clear of it, because I imagine it will still be misspelled a lot! (or have to be spelled a lot). But if that is not a big deal to you, it is a very pretty name.

The spelling doesn't really bother me, it's the pronunciation more or less. I mean, it's really not pronounced like "Violet" and I think it would irk me to have to repeatedly correct people on how to properly say her name. Either way, it's staying on my list
