“…and every boy is Jacob.”

That’s just Daddy’s tribute to Diana Rigg!

And all the boys are named William or Bill …

Ella Elementary?

That simplifies things. Everyone can be called by his or her surname.

20 years ago 6 of 11 players on my daughter’s soccer team were named Megan. You should have seen the coach try to organize things.

I remember Moonbeam Horwitz and Freedom Kalwalski.

In my son’s day it was Katie… in my day it was Barbara… in my mother’s day, Lucy.

Almost 40 years ago, we named our daughter Jennifer. It was very unique. After bringing her home, we found that pretty much every girl baby was a Jennifer

Only once in one class was there someone else with my name though spelled differently.

And the first and middle name of half the boys is John Snow but they don’t know anything.

Named our daughter, born in 1994, “Emily.” When the year ended, we read that it was the most popular girls’ name that year.
