Me, too!

I had many dodgeballs aimed at me, but I have lightning fast reflexes so it all worked out.

Plus I look really Irish so my name goes with my face.

Oh yeah and my cousin named his daughter MAEGHAN. I thought it was a typo. Alas it is not.

I was as a child, but now every third little girl has my name (thank heavens for nicknames!) - and I hate sharing my name with so many other people!! When I was little, I met a Miss America with my name, and she told me that only special people had "our" name, and it made me feel great!!

Of course, as I look at my other family members' names, I have the most common by far. We once saw my mother's name on stationery, and my dad made her buy it!

As for having "too" Irish of a name, it all depends on what the name is. I see a world of difference between Brenden Adair and Patrick O'Connell, and I'm sure others do as well.

What's the world of difference between those names? I'm confused.

Sure, now! But not when I was a little kid.

LOL - I've yet to hear of someone who doesn't know a Patrick O'Connell - but you don't expect to find him in the board room!

I don't really get your point. Please clarify. Thanks.

Yeah, i don't get it either?

PLEASE don't let someone name their kid something that can be gender confusing. Kelley, for example. Even Conor or Connor can go either way- I know males and females by that name. If not for the sake of the kid, for the sake of all of the people in the future that will need to write him or her a letter and because the name could go either way, doesn't know whether to put "Mr." or "Ms."
