I LOVE the name Audrey but it's getting really popular. I predict it will be the new Emily or Emma in a few years.

I also love Caleb but it's already in the top ten.

I don't want my kids to have the same name as 50 other kids in the school!

For years my favorite girl name was Carson (like Carson from the movie Shag) Reilly. Now both are quite popular. I also really loved Delaney for a girl. I didn't know anyone named that a few years ago but it's getting pretty popular now.

My sister and I love this name too! Shag was one of our favorite movies growing-up. We then decided to be totally Southern and use our own family name for a girl - Dawson. But then the show Dawson's Creek came out and now I don't think it sounds very original or fresh, plus there is the surname trend...

Our taste have changed over the years and a daughter named Carson or Dawson would not fit with with other girls names on our lists - Beatrice, Iris, Felicity, Margot, Celia, etc. I still really like either Carson or Dawson for a girl.

Boys:
Ethan - I love this, but I just know so many
Jacob, nn Jake - sounds like a friendly guy, but lots of other people agree :)
Max - I just learned how popular this one is :(
Thomas - I still might use this as either a fn or mn
Dawson - maybe as the mn since this is a family name

Girls:
Madeline - way too many Maddie's out there
Annabel - VERY hot in my area
Lucy - I still might use this, I love it!
Zoe - I have decided Phoebe is the best alternative
Sophia - gorgeous name
Eva

Good luck,
Brooke
