I understand the thoughts that the names may be boring, but as a school teacher I will tell you there are few "boring" classic names used anymore... Everyone is so caught up in being different and IMO the kids in my school end up having their names spelled and pronounced wrong, not to mention the teasing of some... I would rather my child have a solid start with a solid name that people ARE familiar with and which makes a strong impact. But, again... that is just the way my husband and I think. To each his or her own.

Teacher here too, and I agree. Classic names that are spelled right are the way to go.

Re: Baby Names?
Very nice!
(I may be biased bc my DS is William, and if this baby is a boy it will be John)
There is nothing wrong with them but I find them kind of boring and safe.
Ditto, moreso with John though.
Thanks for all the responses.
