There is only one other boy's name I like and that is Dante.

For girls I really like Darcy and Adelaide.

Husband hates all of them and if we have a girl he wants to call her Keira.
My sisters ex has a son called Kai. I also have someone in the family called Keira.

Love the name Dante

Those names on the piece there were awful - the bus shelter one??....I mean, jeez.........it's like the Beckhams naming their son Brooklyn after where he was conceived.


Personally if I were ever lucky enough to have children, for a girl I love Amber-Leigh and a boy, Joseph.

Don't joke!!

Traditional names in the current playground seem to be;
Brandon, Braydon, Brennan, Brendon, Brinlyn
Aryn, Aron, Erin, Aaron
Rylee, Rilie, Rylie
Jayden, Kaitlyn, Cayt, Kaytee
Megan, Meaghan, Meegan, Meagan

You just affix said name to either a male or a female of the species, and don't worry about the spelling!

It seems that perhaps, from Steve P's most up to date list, that some of the 'traditional' names are making a re-appearance in Canada (with Emmas, Emily, Hannah, Sarah, etc - names that are hugely popular currently in the UK in the 7-15 age group).

Hey - maybe - the name Ann will one day top the poll Nah !!!

But Bus Shelter, and Violence - FFS

My friend used to teach a pupil called Tequila-Paris!!! Can only assume that is what they were drinking and where conception took place!

However - can't say too much, i am great auntie to Jayden, Tianna-Lee, Skye-Kennedie and Kenzee.

Default Re: Childrens' names ....

the 20 something men all seem to be called Brad, Chad or Jamie
the late teens are Taylor or Tyler
the little kids Brandon and Aiden

the girls of any age are either Cathy, Krista or Fallon.

But the surnames are another matter, I can't even pronounce half of them
