I love Isabel and it's a family name but I think it's too popular now (especially with variants like Isabelle, Isabella).
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've always thought I might like to use the name Emmett for a boy because I like it and it's a family name.
Well, it's worked well for Emmett. He's never had to share it with a classmate or teammate, plus he's awesome. So I encourage the Emmettization of America.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That baby name list hurt me with Aiden, Jayden AND Caden in the boys' top five.
And Brayden close 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.
So I encourage the Emmettization of America.
Tuxes for everyone!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Plei's Lillian seems particularly Lillianesque to me. It suits her very well.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I like my name. Unusual enough, but not freaky.

He would totally run on that platform. And I'm sure he could get the endorsement of Marlene Dietrich and Fred Astaire and Sean Connery.

I like Dana, too. I think Dana Katherine Scully is my association (sigh...).

I associate "Adele" with Adele Astaire, Fred's sister and first dance partner.
My great-grandmother's name was Alida, which I think is beautiful and a name that should be brought back to popularity.
JZ's cousin just had a baby, and used "Emmett" as the middle name because she liked Emmett's name.
When my sister was 20, she was a bridesmaid at a high school friend's wedding. The ringbearer was named Kip, which happens to be my brother's name. When Kris pointed that out to the boy's mother, it turned out that her husband had been classmates with my brother and even though they weren't close, he still liked Kip's name well enough to use it for his son!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Unfortunately, I had an Emmett for a college roommate. He was kind of a jerk. No, he was a pretty complete jerk.
And I see Frederick continues to slide down the lists.
