VERY handsome name combo, I must say. Blair is one of those names that I like for a boy, but could never bring myself to use it in real life. I never really thought of the Blair Anthony association...

I've never met a boy Avery, but I certainly wish there were more of them. I too think of the Avery from Charlotte's Web, and it was my first acquaintance with the name as a whole, so naturally it's...

Ugh, let's hope nobody catches wind of these and bestows them on official birth certificates. But, yes, it does look fun to see what everyone comes up with. Let's see... how about: (Warning:...

Philomena is one of those names that seems perfectly realistic in a book or whimsical other-world where the impossible is all very possible. Sadly, I don't think that applies to our day-to-day lives;...

No, there is nothing "cool" about copying a celebrity, trying too hard, or going out of one's way to sound like they dug out a book, closed their eyes and went with whatever word they happen to...

I can't recall knowing anyone in real life that fell into the "girls with boy names" category. My only experience with such a thing is contestants on TV shows or documentaries. From that alone, it...

When I see Avery, I think boy. But then I see Sage and think girl. So, to answer your question, yes, too unisex.

Although the two have a distinctly different syllable count, (3 and 1,...

There's nothing really over the top about a sibling set with the same letter, (i.e. Sylvie, Stella, and Sebastian) but if it were the same *syllable*, (i.e. Elliot, Ella, and Elijah) that could be...

I'll have to go with Electra. My first associations with it are the Marvel Comics character, followed by the mythological character who was princess of Argos.

Personally, Everly sounds too fussy...

Just started school this term. Here are some of the more uncommon names I've come across on the rosters: (note: these are from online classes, so I may not be sure on pronunciation of some of these....

I also have never met one, but based on statistics alone, it appears its popularity in USA is declining.

Really? I never really heard Arthur get a lot of flack before. My guess is that some people might think it sounds too "dusty and old". Personally, I think it's rather dignified and regal; it's...

The only one I like is Kaia Verity, maybe Miranda Kelly.

It goes back to the whole tradition that men have to preserve their masculinity, yet women are more versatile in what direction their persona can take. It's a sad double standard, but I don't let it...

Other than the typical pregnancy/adoption stuff, I get a lot of ads for cell phones and internet + TV bundles. I also get quite a few instances of Modcloth, which I do go to fairly often.

I think the obvious trends have been covered already, but there are two in particular that really bother me. It's not so much the "I'm tired of seeing Maeve every other post" type argument, but more...

Neither; if anything, you might get a few "Huh, usually that's a middle name." comments, but no minds will be blown.

I guess Phyllis Diller isn't a good association for most people. Shame, really, she was quite a character. I'll bet anything if there was a Phyllis on, say, Downton Abbey, mommies-to-be would be...

Octavia seems okay to me, but I can see why others like it. I imagine an Octavia being fun-loving, but very dramatic; the kind of person you'd look to for fashion advice or where the great...

My name is Natalie Hart, and my surname means "large". So, we have something like this:

Born at yuletide; adult male [red] deer; large.

With some rearranging and such, it comes out as "Large...

I'm leaning more towards Allen, but Alan has a soft spot for me as of late, especially since a family friend by that name somewhat recently passed away. This is just me personally, but I think it...

My parents have tastes I can only describe as "under the top 100 bar", in that they were considering names for my brother and I that were not in the top 100, but barely so. (Truth be told, my brother...

Unusual in general? Maybe. Unusual for someone of my cultural/ethnic/lifestyle background? Not a chance. For example, as lovely as some of the more Celtic names sound to me, (not like Dylan or...

I don't really know many people in the "preggo" crowd, but of the few babies I know of born somewhat recently (past few years or so) there wan't really anything that stood out to me, save for a close...

Not a fan of the -lyn suffix generally, though there's bound to be an exception somewhere. Oaklyn, however, is not one of them. I would assume it to be a girl's name, but don't like it because it...
