My family has either family or Irish names. The new babies are Kristen, Anne, Brenna, Lauren, Ryan, Kayla, Johnny, Liam, Conner, Shane, Michael, and Dylan. The worst is the misspelling of Maeghan, but I still like the name.
I haven't heard of too many people in my real life who give their children awful names. My neighbor (and friend since we were four) has Samantha, Nicholas, and Amanda. Her sister has Kayla which has become popular lately.
I have noticed that there aren't too many newborn girls named Jennifer, Michelle, or Stephanie lately. There are tons of them who are my age.
If I become a mother, my children will probably have traditional Irish names. Of course, it depends on my future husband's last name. Brigid Horowitz and Patrick Gallo won't work. Well, maybe.
