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?

Bwah! I remember it was part of a road name in San Diego many years ago and it struck me as sweet and kind of Southern (which I am) and I liked it. Fast forward 7 years and it's in the top 50. I just wonder how that happens.

I'd really like to throw myself down on the floor and have a full blown temper tantrum.
