Baby Names.. Traditional or No? A fun poll?

I am not pregnant nor expecting to be any time soon, but the topic of baby names fascinates me. I have always been drawn to very gender specific names but lately the trend seems to be finding the most unusual spelling for a common name or else using gender neutral names. What do you think of current baby name trends? Do you have any names you just love? Give me your opinions just for fun!!





Personally I have many many favorites but off the top of my head


Annabelle( I'd call her belle)


Victoria


Dahlia Rose( pronounced dal-i- a)


Kirsten


Olivia





Jacob


Michael


Christopher


Alexander

Baby Names.. Traditional or No? A fun poll?
I really like your Dahlia Rose name





I've always loved Harlow (before f'n nicole richie used it lol) and Madison. But I think if I have girls I'd want to incorporate Disney Princess names like Belle and Aurora b/c i %26lt;3 disney :)
Reply:I really dislike using 'unique' spellings of a name. I much prefer the tradional spellings and i think using a'made-up spelling is only going to lead to confusion later on.





I also am not a fan of gender neutral names, i like girls to have feminine names and boys to have masculine names! I really really really dislike using boys names as first names for little girls!
Reply:their are a lot of strange baby names out their today!


my friend recently called her baby breanna, and spelt that way too.


i really love the name Ellie-May, which i called my baby girl :)


and for a boy i love Harry, i think its not too common but not to strange either! their is alot of people who call their babies after seasons and stuff! i love the name Annabelle for a babygirl but when she gets abit older i think i'd go off of it.


but the rest of the names u picked as your favorites are gorgeous!

Reply:The strangest name I ever heard (and I personally know the child) is Abracadabra. Seems the mother was very large and no one knew she was pregnant. So - when the child was born - Abracadabra! They call her Abra.

Reply:My husband and I have two beautiful children with light brown hair and blue eyes. Our 4 year old daughter is named Camarin (traditionally spelled cameron and used as a boys name mostly) and a 2 year old son named Tobias (we call him Toby). My husband and I didn't want anything common or traditional (we have a common last name) so our children will always have something unique. I have never seen our daughters name spelled the way we spell it that's just the first thing that came to my mind. I love the name annabelle it's very feminine and beautiful. The only thing about their names is that if they ever want something with their name on it it will have to be personalized as I have never seen a keychain with the name Tobias on it :)
