They are all kids under 5. My grandmas were named Emma and Ethel, and I know Emma is really common now, but I grew up in a town where there were 15 old German women named that!
Every boy is now named Will. For the last 20 years.

At least for me, it sounds like your town is doing a lot better than most of the rest of the U.S. If I watch one more "A Baby Story" or "Bringing Home Baby" and see a Kayla, Arianna, Arabella, Gianna, Madison, Mackenzie, Brianna, Kaylee, Kylee, or the like- I'll serious throw up. Why would people think "I'm giving my child such a cute and unique name!" when 500,000 other little girls born that month will have it? Why not just go back to "Jennifer" and "Ashley" if you're going to be like that?
