Babies Born Near Me -- June

[dantea]

There's more classics than usual, but I'm disappointed by the amount of boyish names on the girls. As always, I'll star my favorites and I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions ^_^

Boys:

Cooper
Jacob x2
Kage
Jaxson
Brantley
Bryce
Andrew x2
Isiah
Peyton x2
Mason x2
Asher***
Colbie
Jaxon x2* -- I actually like this misspelling of Jackson and I know one and he's cool
Landon
Charlie
Evan
Aaron
Tyler
Shyler* -- I actually think this is kind of cool
Lucas x2
Seth
LeRoy
Jackson
Kyler*
Logan
Donald
Daxton
James
Hadynn -- i would have thought this was a girl
Caleb
Bryant -- there's a city named Bryant about 20 mins away so this is weird
Luke
Courtney -- i'm actually pretty happy to see this on a boy
Kaydan

Girls:

Gabrielle
Hayden -- mom was Agatha
Jenaye
Isabella
Ellie
Michelle -- moms name was Modesta
Symone* -- I like Simone spelled right
Brylin
Hailey
Terin -- this sounds boyish to me
Piper*
Avery -- prefer on boy
Emery
Marlee
Alison
Bryanne -- Bryan...sigh
Preslee
Brianna
Morgan -- prefer on a boy
Ravyn -- moms name was Lychandra
Aria**
Harper* -- i prefer on a boy
Addison x2
Dixie
Olivia x2
Karlie
Autumn

Sophia**
Jaylynn

Gabriella
Blake
Lily

Adalyn
Kiley
Kennedi
Kholoe -- KOH-low-ee?
Lacey
Birella
Aubrey* -- prefer Audrey
Emma

I feel badly for Jaxson, Hadynn, Kaydan, Jaylynn, Brylin, Terin, Ravyn, Kaycen (how a teacher will keep them all straight when they begin school will be quite the challenge!). Kholoe and Birella are not pretty either. What on earth is Kage? Cage for wild animal at a zoo but it's certainly not appropriate for a child whatever way you spell it?

I don't mind...Aaron, Mason, Charlie, James and Lucas or Gabrielle, Alison, Lily and Emma.

Thanks for sharing, Dantea!

Boys ones I like:
Andrew, Bryce, Mason, Asher, Landon (prefer London on a boy), Charlie, Evan, Tyler, Lucas, Jaxon/Jackson (kind of), James, Luke.

I know of a man named Courtney = Funfact.
Jaxon I actually like a bit, but I hate how it dated.

I feel awful for Hadynn. I don't understand the logic behind parents who do that to their child's name. I really don't. And as someone who doesn't like her own name, it's kind of enraging how selfish some parents get with naming, it's like the forget they're naming a human being, not a doll or a pet. This is a person who has to go through life with the name you gave them. I'm pretty sure most of then wouldn't take an adult male named Hadynn seriously, but it's like the get caught up in the fact that it's a baby form their naming, and forget about the adulthood that comes.

On to the girls:
Gabrielle
Hailey
Michelle, it's a boring, but it's nice.
Avery on a boy, Averie on a girl but it's not really appropriate.
Alison
Aria
Olivia
Zoey
Gabriella
Lily
Kiley but as Kylie
Lacey
Aubrey
Emma

My same rant applies to Bylin, Preslee, Ravyn, Cyniah, Jaylynn, Kaycen, Kennedi, Kholoe, Birella.

Oh if they're in the same class, it'll be tough.
As a daycare teacher with a Kayden and an Ayden in the same room, it's challenging.

My brain wouldn't let me move away from Kage. How ridiculous is that name? Poor little boy

[dantea]

It's okay East93..I completely understand. I work in a daycare and I hate seeing poor kids with awful names come into my group. And keeping all the Haley, Baylie, Jackson, Gavins apart is hard and all the Haylie's have the same middles >.<
