Flame away, but I kind of despise any of the "mc" names
mckayla, mckenzie.. mceverychildhasanamelikethis
reminds me of mcdonalds.
Also on my "hate" list: Maddison. I think that it's just because this name is so played out.
Names I do like:
Claire, Isla, Alexis, Evie (girls)
Henry, Jacob (thanks for ruining that one, Twilight!) and Jack (boys)
Realistically though, my children shall be named "imaginary" and "non-existant". Both of those are very gender neutral, so they work
Re: My turn for a baby names post!
Oh I hear you. "Mc" means "son of," so to give your daughter a Mc name is just ridiculous.
I love all of your girl names, esp. Evie, and I'm a huge fan of Henry.
Flamewothy confession: I like the name McKenna for a girl. Don't worry, though, DH hates it.
I love Alexis.
We have a friend named Jordan McKenzie. He is a very macho "manly man." Though we would never do it, we love to tell hime we are naming a daughter after him because his fist and last name make great girl names. It's fun to get him riled up.
I secretly do like Jordan for a girl, but not McKenzie.

Carrie - don't be silly. these are my names!
Oh! I love that we have the same names picked out! Maybe we can have an imaginary play date and have our same-named children be best not-real friends forever!
I love Claire but DH and my mom both say NO to it....we will see who wins out!!
That sounds like an fabulous imaginary plan! maybe they grow up together and have an imaginary wedding! oh I can't wait........
Can I introduce them to my child, Hypothetical? He needs some playmates.

of course!
Oooh, I better start picking out my imaginary mother of the bride (did I mention that Imaginary is a girl?) outfit!
Well, duh!! It seems obvious to me you wouldn't name a boy Imaginary.
(OK, anyone want to take bets that at some point in the not-too-distant future, we'll actually see someone asking about this name over on Baby Names or First Tri?)
