55. Actually, people are using "boys" names so much for girls
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 08:00 PM by fed_up_mother
that we're going to run out of names for boys in a few years! LOL

Names that were once clearly "male," are now female. I hadn't thought about it until my daughter was pregnant. She and her husband wouldn't use so many boys' names that I suggested because they had been converted to girls' names.

And I don't have a problem with creative spellings. (Freedom and all that...) However, don't scream at me when I can't spell your child's name! How many ways can a person spell Amy? Aimee? Amee? Aime? Aimy? Aimey? Aemee?
