[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 674200, member: 2205"] When I was named, Joshua was an unusual first name. Now it's been in the top ten for boys names for several years in a row in the US. Luckily, at least, I'm just about the [i]oldest[/i] Joshua I know. My kids: Spencer Joshua Dyal -- a classic name, not much used today, but not at all odd. Works really well. Jessica Michelle Dyal -- my wife changed her mind at the last minute from Breanne -- Jessica is kinda a common name, but it's pretty for a little girl, and won't wear out when she grows up. She'll have to always know a few other girls with the same name, most likely, though. Alexander Williams Dyal (I call him Zander, my wife says Alex) -- another classic name (literally, from Classical Greece) yet not one you see a [i]lot[/i]. Name my wife likes but I rejected: Morgan (sounds like a boys name to me, she wants it for a girl), Cameron (means crooked nose -- I couldn't name a kid crooked nose) and Jordan (also, boy's or girl's name: can't tell.) Names we're considering for the next time around: Boys: Logan, Aiden, girls: Breanne, McKenna. Names that are unusual but not in a "that's really weird" kinda way, just in a "you don't hear that very often" kinda way. [/QUOTE]
