I can't help but judge anyone who names their kid

Bella, Jacob or Edward within the last year or so. I will continue to judge until something new comes out.

I know some people have real reasons behind it, family names or loved it since childhood. But in the birth announcements this week there was a little boy "Jacob Edward" and 2 little girls an "Isabella" and a "Bella"

    Really?  I actually like all of those names.  But, as someone who didn't watch the movies or read the Twighlight books I wouldn't associate them with that.

    Yeah...those names have been ruined for me too.

    I can totally see how Edward Jacob could easily be a family name...by the time the kid is older hopefully the whole Twilight thing will have passed and he won't get mocked relentlessly.  ;)

    Those are pretty ridiculous, I agree. However, as someone who named my son Edward I just have to defend myself by saying that while I DO like Twilight, it had nothing to do with my choice...it's my Grandfathers name and we had it picked before Twilight even came out, and mind you, I was PISSED when Twilight did start getting so popular because I knew some people would make the connection. But we call him Teddy anyway so it's about as far from Twilight as we can get!

    I know. I'm so over these names already and it kills me because Annabelle has been a favorite girl name forever. Ugh. ::sighs::
    02/08 BFP resulted in m/c 4/10/08 (11 weeks)
    10/08 Clomid Cycle #1 = m/c 11/7/08 (6 weeks)
    03/09 Clomid Cycle #2 = BFN
    3 rounds of Femara + Ovidrel + IUI =BFN
    10/18/09 2nd Break Cycle (post HSG) before IVF #1 = BFP!

    ? The world thought I had it all, but I was waiting for you. ?

    Jacob has been my boy name forever however it has been ruined with all the jacobs popping up.
    From miscarriages, a diagnosis of a bicornuate uterus, and fibroid removal surgery...It's been quite the journey but it was all well worth it. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
