Our daughter's little girl is named Jolee -- which I think is a pretty neat name.

Naming 13 kids has been a real trip. My husband wanted to be really involved in naming them but the problem was that he had no clue about what children are named now--he kept suggesting fifties names like Debbie.  Also, since the first 2 girls had middle names starting with C, he insisted that we (meaning I) should come up with a C middle name for each girl.
He was very agreeable about the boys' names but it took forever to name the girls! I swear that we will have at least one more girl, though, and I know what I want to name her even though he doesn't care for the name because his hippie cousin suggested it. She will be:
CHESSA

Daughter #2 is Francesca. My mom and sister-in-law started calling her Chessa almost after she was born. As she's gotten older it's been shorten to Ches. Her friends at school sometimes call her Fran or Frannie (which I can't stand) and I asked her why she doesn't correct them and suggest Chessa or Ches. She said no, only family members can call me that.

I posted that 10 years ago and we have had so many adoptions fall through at the last minute that we can't even count them. Foster family gets the kids back even though they signed off on them, birthmother gets the kids back even though the first judge said no, kids are put into permanent foster care, you name it. The age range what we would accept has risen greatly now and it finally looks like something may happen for us this year.
Sometimes older children do want their name changed to start a whole new life. I know what one of my suggestions would be.

Friends of mine adopted a daughter from foster care after fostering her for 3 years. She's 12 and one of her requests for things she wanted to do after her adoption was final was to change her name. Her birth parents were horribly abusive and they still live in the area. Not only does she want a new name so she can have a fresh start of sorts, but she doesn't want them to try and locate her (which would be easy as her birth name is very unique and it's not hard to figure out her adoptive parents last name and look her up.)

Hmmm... Names I love but might not actually use...
How about:
Devon
Tegan
Laine
Personally I think you can go cute on girls names but should stay traditional for boys so I don't have any suggestions there.

I agree that it's easier to name a girl something more unusual. Some names I like:
boys:
-Brennan Marshall (after my two favorite Supreme Court justices)
-Benjamin (traditional but very, very good)
-Teague (means "poet" in Latin if I recall correctly)
-Tobias (or Toby for short)
-Holden
girls:
-Anicca (if I'm remembering correctly, it's a Pali word that means "impermanence" and it's always been my dream name for a girl, although I'm not so sure I'll ever have a kid)
-Noelle (my middle name which I think is darn cool)
-Sage (would also work for a boy, I think)
-Thoreau
-Camille
for twins, a little cheesy, but:
Franny & Zooey

Baby names was something that was discussed at length in one class I had my senior year of HS...
names I like
Girls:
Penelope
Melinda
Alli
Tara
Katie (not Kate)
Boys:
Van
Anson
Gus (had a camper this summer who was really cool named this)
Graig (like Greg)
Brandon
Thomas
On the whole I like shorter nicknames for girls, but not for boys (my little bro is Daniel not Dan, and I prefer David over Dave, Thomas over Tom, so on and so forth) with the exception of my own...who knows maybe when I start Grad school I'll go back to Geoffrey, but for now Geoff or even Geo.
