Baby names

Names are funny. You try to go for what you think is an uncommon but still traditional name, like Isabel, and it later turns out there are two of them in the same class with your kid. And then you figure what the hell, and name you son Adam, figuring it's still a good name, even if it's popular, and he winds up being the only kid in the county school system with that name. [/only a slight exaggeration]

You can't worry too much about what other people are doing when you are coming up with names. ymmv
