I'll let you know when I get there...but somehow, I just know I'm going to be severely disappointed.

Oh no you won't.

What age range you looking for, and does Deb(o)ra(h) count?

(vital stats are online before y'all hyperventilate)

:p :D I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it(half way through the pregnancy) funny though he is my third and I'd been quite boring with my first two *lol* I've actually met a few Braden's here in Houston but only one of them was older than mine.......hopefully it'll not get too popular and looking on the bright side I don't think the girls will pinch it ;) :D

I have a little girl in my class called Braden... spelt the same way. I think it's a lovely name... I also work with three people in the district who have it as their last name.

I also know someone called Michael Michaels and another one called Chris Mus. :)

Or to spell it Collin so it doesn't look as much like Colon. Yes, kids are cruel.

On the news this week they featured a couple in Arizona that still havent named their daughter and she is now a year and a half old. Apparently they decided to wait and see what she looked like when she was born and still cant think of an appropriate name. Even her birthday cake had 'baby' on it! What a shame for the poor girl. There should be rules about giving a baby a new within a certain timeframe.

Apparently she cant have either until she is named. The parents thought it amusing and so seem to be in no hurry. They say that as she is getting older no name seems to suit her. I think they arent trying hard enough. Just give her a bloody name :eek:

though with that much time, they give her a duff name, when the kid grows up, never speak to them again after finding this out *lol*

I have an ex-coworker who is now living in WA. She's Canadian (Quebecoise actually) and her husband is Australian. Her daughters (both American born) are named Indiana and Sage!

I think both names are pretty odd but perhaps she mixes with a crowd whose children have equally exotic names.
