I know two Silvias. One is in her thirties and one is a toddler so no, I don't view it as an old lady name. If you love it, you should go ahead and use it. If you're worried about it sounding too...

In no particular order...

I was so disappointed when I saw this story earlier today. I really like Lisa Ling (been a fan since her Channel One days) and this name is such a letdown. She seems so intelligient and down to...

Titania. Beautiful name but in this day and age it would be cruel to give a girl a name that started with tit.

Hollis - I see this as completely masculine. Can't picture it on a girl at all. Makes me think of Watchmen, since that was the name of the original Nite Owl. Holly and Holiday are both nice for...

I'm sorry but the bath situation that you described is a big red flag. That is not normal behavior for a five year old at all. Being fascinated by one's own body (or body parts) or using new...

I've heard both the thal-ya and tal-ya/tal-lee-ah pronunciations. I would probably go for the tal- pronuciation first but the thal- pronunciation wouldn't surprise me.

Honestly, if you're not an animal person and you don't want a pet living in your house, then I would advise against getting one. Pets are a lot of work (not to mention money, time, etc.) and if your...

With the Ryder spelling, yes, it does have a trailer park/white trash feel to it. If you spelled it Rider, then I think it would be fine.

I think in the cases where the technician was wrong it was when they thought it was a girl and it ended up being a boy. I haven't heard of any where they thought it was a boy and it ended up being a...

I'd advise against it. While Jasper is a nature name, it has a long history as a boy's name and I think it would sound really strange on a girl. It would be like naming a boy Daisy. I would say...

The only Keturah I've ever known went by Kit, which I think works a lot better than Kate.

We have the Cortina Keyfit 30 travel system (by Chicco) and I really like it. The car seat has a high safety rating and is very light weight (which was a big selling point for me because the...

I think you're blowing things out of proportion. Their first son is named after your cousin's father and the second is named after your cousin, so they didn't "steal" those names. They just used...

Sunshine is definitely my ultimate guilty pleasure hippie name. It's completely unusable but I love it!

I love saying the name Moira! Mostly because it's basically impossible to say without taking on an Irish lilt (or in my case, a very faux Irish lilt).

I've heard both roz-ah-lin and rose-ah-lind.

I would go ahead and use it. You said you're not really friends with Xanthe's parents so it's not like you're stealing a name from a close friend or anything. Also, even though you live in the same...

Hester is the only one I like.

Personally, I love Agatha (mainly because of Agatha Christie) but I can see where others would find it way too old lady-ish. I do think the nickname Aggie freshens it up a bit and would probably...

I would have to go with "yes" because the names I like as first names are rarely ever names I also like in the middle. For me it's more about choosing between entirely different combos then choosing...

I love Leora/Liora. It was in the running when we were choosing our daughter's name.

I also just think of Lately, so I would have to give it a thumbs down.

Thanks to everyone that replied. I went ahead and booked the photo session for when she's two weeks old. I figure it should be fine to take her to the photo studio as the session should only last...
