[QUOTE="Utrecht, post: 670718, member: 1411"] [b][PLAIN]Re: Re: [OT] Naming a child Arwen[/PLAIN][/b] As Kajamba Lion indicated both are Gaelic in origin - and are actual names - just not common. That being said we are noticing a rather market increase in the number of Aidens that we run into - I suspect that the character on Sex and the City had something to do with it. Afton is still pretty rare (something like .001% of the population has it), but they are around and have run into 2 others so far. I suspect that Arwen will be less popular then Aiden, but more than Afton - so it fits our criteria. As far as children being cruel, that is part of the nature of childhood and my wife and I have already started working on the "sticks and stones may break my bones" routine and hopefully by the time they get to school they will have a marginally thick skin. (ah the joys of parenting...:rolleyes: ) [/QUOTE]
