"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ's cousin just had a baby, and used "Emmett" as the middle name because she liked Emmett's name.

We bump into kids named Emmett occasionally, but it's rare enought that it's remarkable.

We've only met one 93 y.o. Matilda, but lots of people say either that (a) they love the name (because of the book/movie); or (b) that they considered using Matilda. So I think we're maybe a little ahead of the curve on that one and wouldn't be surprised if it starts trending upward.

I have a friend from another board who just had a baby girl and named her Mathilda.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was interesting to see Ava and Ella on the list, because I've had neighbors who had young girls with those names and it seemed unusual/new at the time.

It's happening already!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know two other babies named Mat(h)ilda.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Wonder how fast Isabella, Esme, Alice, Renee and such will rise on the popular list.

Will be interesting to see if Susan every comes back in style.

While K-Bug hasn't had a bunch of same named kids, there have been a ton of sound alikes. Her softball team at one point had Cailey, Keily, Kelly, and Kayla.

I like the name Lillian too.

I've yet to hear of another kid named Leif, I think it was in the 70s that Leif even made the baby name charts.

Emaryn is pretty unique from what I can see, but there are loads of girls in her school who have names in the Em... family.

She's only 4 days old!

And it's Matilda (no h) Lucretia.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My sister's friends just named their son Emmett.

There are a lot of Lillians around Lillian's age. I mean, I still love the name and all, but wow.

Edith was my mother's mother's name, and Esme was Dad's grandmother. For a long time, I liked the name combo Esme Helene.

Same spelling? Despite Emmitt Smith, I can't get around the "i" variation. I just think it looks more balanced with two Es, two Ms, and two Ts.
