BROMLEY VICTORIA MOLLY
DECLAN MONTGOMERY JOSEPH
URIAH MALAHY AINSLEY
So there are a few unusual nameees in that lot.

The fads tend to where you live also. When my son was born, we named him Liam -- not very common in the States but not unheard of. I personally didn't know anyone named that. Bam, there were two or three babies named Liam. We moved to another state and he is the only one here with that name.

When we had our daughter, we picked Molly. Didn't know anyone with that name. Last year, in her small prek class, there was another one, plus 2 more in the nursery school. And there is one down the street from us and two grown ladies in our town called that. I still love it, though, so quite happy with my choices.
