I'm not sure why people make fun of my kid's names: Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. :snooty:

Soulmagnet, I'm sorry, but that is funny. Maybe your dad just liked the name.
Meredith Wilson ( a man ) wrote 'The Music Man'Would have never guessed meredith was a "boy" name at one time. Interesting
ouldn't answer rollcall & seemed hestitant to speak in class at any time. The teacher called for a parent conference to address La-Sha, the shy child. When she began to explain her concern about "LA SHAY" the mother said " Call my baby by her name, that dash ain't silent... "LA DASH SHA"....... See why I used last names?
OMG!! I know what you mean re. the name "Colton"!! I named my now 12-yr.-old Colton and have never regretted it; however, I am still shocked somewhat when I hear it being used by someone else, ESPECIALLY criminals!! Several yrs. ago. Colton P.????? [can't remember spelling] was on the old "Court TV" for a trial; at the time, MY Colton was shocked to hear that a murderer had HIS name, lol! THEN there was the "Barefoot Bandit," aka Colton something-or-other! My son is always watching true-crime shows with me, as he knows that is my passion... But by the time the SECOND 'criminally-inclined' Colton showed up on television, my son was like, "Dang, Mom, I never meet anyone with my name, and when I see other 'Coltons' on the news, they're always the 'bad guys'!! But, FWIW, I always assure him of the truth: I named him 'Colton' because of a magazine article I had read a few years before his birth. The article covered the Oklahoma City bombings... and one of the children who didn't make it was named 'Colton'- at that moment, I fell in love w/the name, and I still love it. However, recently I have seen a resurgence re. 'Colton' and I don't like it... And, oh, yeah, my eldest son is named "Evan" and I can't believe how his name has been 'hijacked'!! When I named him 'Evan' in 1988, that name was unheard of...SO weird!!!:crazy:My first name is very old fashion..I was named after my great aunt who happens to be who my mom was also names after. I go by my middle name and 90% of the people I know do not know my first name. (they just think what they call me IS my first name.) BUT I have to say I like my first name better then what all the girl cousins ended up being named "something" Beth ex. Sara-Beth Mary-Beth etc.
My sons name is Colton when we came up with name we hadn't heard it befor and now 3 years later it's a name I hear alot. In fact he has 2 distant cousins whos names are Colton.
Now my "first" name (which is actually my middle name) is a very popular middle name.
And my "real" first name is Phyllis
It's hard to picture this:
75 years from now, at the Sunset Village Rest Home, there'll be a table full of blue-haired ladies with walkers named Jessica, Kaylee, Brittany, and Lyndsee.
