Wow, another Tobias. I don't see that often. John Paul reminds me of a pope, and Sophie/Sophia sure is popular there, but in general a nice collection of names. Lots of traditional and old fashioned names, which are my favorite, and few trendy ones (although I guess old fashioned can be trendy too!). :)

Are these the ones posted in your local paper? What area? I am so surprised so see so many "white" names since there are so many hispanics. Our paper just did an article about the white children being the minority. I guess it's just based on who is putting announcements in the newspaper. I like to go to the hopsital websites that post the names, you would get a much better picture.

And for the record 2 of my kids are "white-non hispanic" and two are "White-Hispanic" so no flames. Here is the article I was refering to. It is also on CNN an MNSBC, etc if you search "Minority Children Tampa".
