I've never heard anyone named Cash.

By way of comparison, if this helps: Axel (our 2mo's name) is #287 on the SSA list -- how many little Axels do you know running around? Not many, huh? And Cash is less popular than this.

I don't know any little boys named Cash. I had this on our list but dh said "No" (and he likes Johnny Cash, too!). I think it's a handsome name -- I agree with others; I like it much more than Clayte. To me, Clayte sounds like you're trying to say Clayton but are just stopping halfway to the end.

You're right, I don't know any Axel's.

See there? Family significance is huge to me, so bring it on! Lol. Clayte's definitely NMS, but it's not horrible either; my dad's name is Marvin Earl -- he didn't give me much to work with, eh? Those ARE horrible for a little guy in this day. I can't bring myself to use either and I feel bad about that, but not bad enough to use one.

BTW, I know what you mean about not many people liking the name and just going with your gut -- when I brought the name Axel up here before he was born, I heard several "icks" too (in addition to many "I like it" comments as well), but dh and I really liked it.

Enjoy!

Noooo!!! I am so mad!! I picked out my top choice girl name when I was in college - EIGHT years ago when these names weren't on the radar and now they're both in the top ten (Isabelle Sophia). Fine, Sophia's only like #8 and I was a Jennifer after all. No big whoop.

However! I used your handy zip code thing and Sophia moves to the #3 spot where we live in Chicago. THEN I put in the suburb where we'll eventually move and Sophia is NUMBER ONE. And Isabelle is #2!!!

Crap. Well there goes Sophia Isabelle or Isabelle Sophia.

:(

Oh well, I'm kind of getting into Daphne. I hope I don't get on the computer January 1st with a 3-week old daughter in my lap and find out Daphne has shot to the top for '08.

PS- I don't know anyone named Cash, but I like it better than Clayte!

Too funny...at least I got a good chuckle out of Cash being your dogs' name!

I do not know anyone. It could be popular because Jessica Alba's babys father is named Cash. But I really have no idea, it is a cute name though = ) I also like more unique names.

I don't know any Cash's, but my husband really pushed for it to be our son's middle name. Well I ended up vetoing it, but I really don't think it's a bad name...it's just nms.

The more I think about Clayte, the more I kind of like it. My late brother's name is Clay, so it reminds me of him :-)

I anxious to know which one you will pick!
