Wow there are some interesting names on that site!  I've never heard of using 'Welcome' or 'Moonjava' as first names 

Boys:
Jeremiah
Elliot
Caleb
Max

Girls:
Lydia
Rose

I don't think much about names anymore since I long ago gave up the notion of having any more kids. I am fond of good solid traditional names, though.

I have always liked the name "Ava" for a girl, unfortunately here in Sweden the pronounciation of this is awful as are many other names such as: Simon for a boy (Sea-men here in Sweden, ick it's awful), John (Yawn is the way it is said here), Jacob (Yah-cob), Ava (Ah-Va) as you can see this makes naming a child that fits both in the English language as well as Swedish very hard.

I am not pregnant but you never know what the future holds. I keep looking for names that I like.

Who would name a child Patchouli?!

I was wondering the same thing Fungirl although I am a little dismayed to see Ethan on the list!!

Those names are very accurate for hippie names,
Back in my "hippie" stage I wanted to name my daughter Sunshine Delilah-Daydream and for my son Jerry Garcia-Karma  (Obviously all after The Grateful Dead)

Wow, despite my penchant for tie-dying, and the fact that I like the smell of patchouli, I don't think I'd consider naming any of my children 'patchouli'!  There are some fairly 'normal' names in that list that I quite like, though.  Perhaps it's only when you put them in combination with some of the other names that they turn into 'hippy' names?

Girl

Madison
Finley
Taylor
Ava

Boy

Hunter
Aidan
Jordan
Corbin (dh likes this one, but I am still undecided )

'Findlay' is definitely a boy's name here. 

Maybe this belongs in Arts & Entertainment, but I just read this:

Britney Spears is doing a Posh and Becks - she will call her baby London if it is a boy when she gives birth in October.

Britters is convinced the baby is a boy even though she has not asked for confirmation by doctors, but she has chosen a girl's name too - Addison Shye - just in case her instincts are wrong.

She said: "Ever since I was a little girl I thought for a boy I love Sean Preston - or London Preston. Isn't London pretty? And for a girl I love Addison Shye. I think that's pretty."

Oh, dear.

She looks like she's carrying a girl to me. 

Addison 'Shye'?  WTF?

Chav. 

Addison 'Shye'?  WTF?

 

I can't believe she's having a girl. I can't believe there's going to be a next generation of Britney Spears. That's horrifying!

She looks like she's carrying a girl to me. 

Addison 'Shye'?  WTF?

Chav. 

I have not heard of the name "Shye", um, I don't like it. 

I have not heard of the name "Shye", um, I don't like it. 

Probably b/c she made it up in her dim little mind. 

I think what's sad is that she genuinely thinks she's come up with fabulous names.  Addison isn't so horrible, I've come across one or two in my life.  But London?  Puh-lease!
