When I was in school it was all Amys, Susans, and Karens.
I'm a little dubious about "Jayden" being the second most popular boy's name, actually.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm curious - is 'Tomas' used as a baby name for English speakers at all?

Now tagless for your comfort.
amych, I can't get the video on my phone but there's a kid on Noggin in Australia who does Cooking with Luis--which we love. Good recipes for preschoolers.

Kathy/Cathy was a big name for those of us born in 1966. At every school I went to, there was always a batch of us in the same grade. In the same way, my sister's year (1964) was a big one for Christine/Kristine (she's Kristine).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cooking with Luis
I LOVE HIM!!!
When he makes the fruit kebabs and the big paw paw melon or whatever loses it's netting and he ye;;s, "THE PAW PAW IS NAKED!" cracks me up every. single. time.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
our goal was never to give D a name that our special little snowflake would have all to himself
To be clear, we are not looking for a EWNEEK name, either. Just hoping to avoid several of them in a class, you know? It's really interesting how you think of a name, think it's pretty unusual, and then it places high on the list. I'm thinking of Avery (girl), which I used to really love and is now on the list. How does that happen exactly?

I love this one, where 2 kids cook recipes from the Alinea cookbook (to prove it's not beyond the skills of a home cook).

Once those laser printer labels became popular, office people started going, "Avery. That would make a nice girls name."

Oh, totally - I can't think of a single social situation in my life where I've been the only Jessica in the group. (But I still love my name.)
