Out of all the girls we know under the age of 8, there are 8 Olivia's, 4 Ava/Ayva/Eva's, 7 Maddie's (Madison or Madelyn), 5 Abby's, 2 Addy's (Adrienne and Addison), 4 Alexis's, 2 Hannah's, 3 Kayla/Kayleigh, and I know there's more. So all of those are out if we ever had another girl.

Boys names are all pretty standard, doesn't seem like any boys name dominates over the other (as far as kids we know). My son's name is pretty unusual, but old school traditional.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the Olivias. There are a few born within the past few months that I know about.

You went to school with more than one Giovanni????? Were they all part of the Sortino family? I don't think we had a single Italian (or at least hard-core Italian) in my school... but I could totally see the families sending their children to your school. (A compliment!)
