I met a brand new little boy named Race yesterday. Also met a baby girl named Lennon recently.

My mom got a Christmas card from a friend whose daughter recently had a baby. The card mentions the baby's name: Ashtian Mykel. Mykel is just a weird variant spelling of Michael, but Ashtian is a name I had never heard before.

Someone I know just had a baby girl named Addi.sten. Thought it was a typo at first but she posted it multiple times so it's not. Maybe a combo of Addison and Aniston? I also know of a little girl named Ell.cy. Took me forever to figure out that it might be a new spelling of Elsie.

(Periods put in for Google-proofing, not part of the names, in case anyone hasn't seen that before)
