Jennifer is THE name for Latin girls in the Bronx!! (and no, not just stupid azz J-Lo - REAL girls "from the Bronx").
My children, who also will not probably look too Anglo, might have Spanish name - but ones that can be Anglicized (Alejandro = Alex). That way both sides of the family can pronounce it right.

Agree with Kathy on this one. 6 years of going to school in Bronx taught me that Jennifer and Jessica are quite popular there. (Or Yennifer and Yessica if you prefer.) We actually had a girl in my HS who's legal name was Yennifer.

I have asked dear husband about this - why do your people love an English name so much that is so difficult for them to pronounce? He thinks this is an excellent question but, alas, has no answer.

We keep forgetting the infamous Suri Cruise.
I personally like Shiloh better than Suri.
When I say Suri it reminds me of the song from Oklahoma about a Surrey.

This is certainly not a trend. Does anyone remember Frank Zappa and his brood?

Lol, i've met at least one Shiloh, she was a Tri-Delta at my school (i think she was a DDD at least).
Suri, never heard of. Of course, Suri will never be allowed to play with any non-Scientologist kids anyway. If she exists.

I had a high school classmate who was Thai. Her name was Ateptaya, but she went by Tanya.
