Well I have no idea why it is popular and you are right, thinking about it; it is, I think it could be a more British influence on us, because to my knowledge it is one of the more common uncommon names (if you know what I mean)

I get annoyed every time I meet another Tynan...it's only happened once, but my Mum has twice, makes me very angry to know I'm not the only one

I like the name Reagan for a girl, but I like Regan (spelling) better.

One of my girlfriends named her daughter Adryth.

I take it you couldn't talk her out of it?

A friend of mine named her boy Brody. Brody??? I immediately came up with Grody Brody. Poor kids.

My cousin's last name when she was married was Gay.

I went to college with a woman who's married name was Hoar (pronounced Ho-Are, but of course nobody pronounced it that way.)

Her poor kids. I wouldn't have married the guy.

Most recent student with unfortunate name I've met -

Yu Ho.

Diss - about Jayden. It's listed under boys names & I actually don't hate it (of course, I wouldn't say thatlike it either.) Anyhoo, my friend's brother & his wife just had a kid. Father's name is Jay. They named the kids Jayden. And, it's a girl.

I took careful consideration when I named Sara. Her middle name is Nicole. You can't make fun of our last name. But, I wasn't married when I had her, and I could have given her my maiden name, but, then her initials would be S.N.M.
Think about it for a minute.

Ultimately, I gave her my now married name.

Both of my sister in laws are having boys. Both have picked unusual names.

Memphis and Parks

And my first job was in a nursing home, so I can relate.

She announced it AFTER the baby was born.

What really bugs me is how people give their child a middle name, and then use THAT name as their first name. My husband and his ex named my step-son Jeffrey Tyler, knowing from the first moment, they would be calling him Tyler. So why not just name him Tyler Jeffrey? Because now every year, we have to explain to all of his teachers that he goes by Tyler instead of Jeffrey. That whole concept has never made sense to me.

My friend's sister named her son Devlin.

WTF?! That is one of the worst names ever. It makes me think of devil. I feel sorry for the kid.

And what may I ask is wrong with Mason??

That happens to be the name of my unborn child, Mason Bruce.
But I def. agree on you with Destiny.

Don't listen to him, Brit, bunch of old grandmas on this thread...

I like the name Mason.
Partly b/c I like James Mason, but still, it's a nice name.

When y'all are like "oh, those poor kids" apparently you don't realize that all their friends and the people in their schools will have those names, too.
My friend (with kids) knows like, 5 Sierras, 40 Camerons, etc. etc.

Boys: Eh, most of them are fine. I really like Bryce, Evan, Jackson. But when did it turn 1985 again? Julian, Blake, Cody?

Girls. LOVE Olivia, Abigail, Amelia & a few others. But...

Destiny? Trinity? Yeah, like your daughters will ever be taken seriously.

Brooklyn? Savannah? Please, let's stop with the city names people.

Reagan? Peyton? Please, let's stop with the men's last names as girl's first names people.

Jasmine? Arianna? All I can think of is the Disney Jasmine from Aladdin and the cheerleader on SNL.

Kayla? Really? Still?

Natalie? All I can think of is Mindy Cohn.

And Chris Farley imitating her on SNL

At least Destiny and Trinity won't have to change their names once they become strippers.
