Kids on the block

We are fairly new to our new neighborhood. The kids are making more friends with the kids around the area and at their new school, and I'm seeing some interesting names.

My dd Alexandria (Lexi or Lexa) is 8, her bff are Savannah Dawn and Kyra ?. (K -eara) Kyras 2 year old sister is Ciara (see-aira). I'm seeing Sierra spellt this way a lot lately but I think Ciara says (K-eara). So I think that is a bit interesting.
Savannah has 2 sisters, one older named Verena and a younger one named Annabella.
Most of her other friends have common names... Haley,hailey, Ashlee, Brittany, Courtney,Emma, Madison, Makenzie, Tamara, Amber.....

I have posted my sons class list here before. They are Max and Leo and they are 5. I don't have the list right in front of me but some that stand out :
Lindsey (boy)
Ocean (g)
Tristin (g)

In the neighborhood - they play with a little girl named Theory Isabelle, we are just getting to know her parents, I don't know where it came from.

boys - about 6 and under

Heatley- this boy just moved in as well.. he is very cute and I wouldn't have thought but Heatley seems to work..I heard his dad call him "heater" I think cute. wdyt? no sibs.

Graham -baby brother Henry
Devlin
Dalton
twins Eric and Liam
Justus -baby brother Talon/Talan (?) dont know the spelling but his middle name is Prince
Zackery - unfortunately I do know this spelling.
brothers Bradley , Joseph and Nicholas, always by their full names.
Byron James (B.J)

Girls
My sons play with only 2 girls so far in the neighborhood. Theory and Cadence.
Most of the girls in their class have names we see all the time.. Madeleine (twin sister to Michael) Brianna, Hannah.. there are twins Katelyn and Madelyn in the junior class.

I'm trying to pay attention to kids around here since when we moved in we were already pregnant, and we don't want the same name as someone close to the house or who the kids were friends with.

We also have a 19 month old named Elora Saige. The babies we know in the area are:
Catherine-goes by Cate/Kate
Melyssa
Owen
Emma x3
Emily Joan
Kaden Mitchell
Jayden (b)
Landon
Abbey
twins - Hayley and Joey

Names that stick out: Heatley and Theory... what do you think?

Im going to need opinions soon for my 5 and probably last little seed. We don't have the list done but I will post it soon so you can all comment. thanks.

I hope some of you and get some babyname input/ideas from my post so that I'm not just wasting your space on here. GL :D

hmm yes there are some interesting names...

Theory I have never heard as a name before... but I know a little Alabama and I thought that was going to be really weird, but when you know that kid it works. I think both Theory and Heatley would be that way for me.

"Heatley" ........ im trying to picture it. I don't know if I like it, but I think I might at the same time. My taste in names is so broad, I love some classics and some trendys, and I like a lot of last name type names. I think maybe Heatley fits in the last name category. There is a NHL player named Heatley (what area are you in? maybe thats where this name comes from)

Elora Saige is beautiful.

I also know a few kids under 2 named Landon. :( I love that name, why does it have to be so popular now!!

if i'm not mistaken, i believe lindsay/lindsey is actually a unisex name, right up there with casey, cory, leslie, and (once upon a time) ashley.

i thought it was weird when my mom told me that she grew up with a girl (they lived on the same block) named michael, until i learned that there are actually quite a few girls named michael in this world (DH's 2nd cousin is one...).
