Try the baby name wizard, sj.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Boy names don't seem as subject to fashion as girl names, but it looks like the "boy names must start with J" thing is ebbing.
There are a number of websites that track the popularity of names, but the only ones I really trust are the census sites, which are a few years behind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Perla is now #359. I've never even heard that name.

I hope things are looking better this morning, Teppy.
Well, I'm super-tired, but that's been par for the course all week. I think I need to call my doctor and get an Rx for Ambien (it ran out a couple of months ago, and I just didn't bother to refill it, b/c I *thought* I was sleeping better -- but apparently I need backup).

My grandmothers were Vada and Edith. I've never been sure where Vada comes from.

What is even happening?

Don't let them fool ya. The "J" names have banded together, and assimilated under Jack. Once it takes over TV entirely, can the US be far behind?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Poor "Fern" has dropped off the charts altogether.

There was also Edyth and Edythe. Huh.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oh, that's kind of sad. Was it her choice?
I think so. There is no female equivalent of Vincent in the US (that I know of), and she didn't really like being tortured by the other school children, so she tried to Americanize it. Her Italian-American friends made it ethnic sounding again by calling her Jeanna.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This summer, I met a five-year-old named Dorothea, called Dorrie. I thought that was cute as a kids name and would be kind of neat as an adult if she wanted to use Dorothea, but didn't really leave an in-between option, between cute and formal. (Dora, maybe.)
