Zoe
Zoey
JaiLeigh
Skye
Aliyah
Carissa
Kassidy
Lily-Anne
Angel
Abigail

Jacob
Brandon
Robert
Jared
Trevyn
Landon
Taylor
Dylan
Nikolas

Both an Alec and Xander in the same month. Maybe Alexander is starting to get turned over for it's nicknames instead. I also saw an 18 month old Alec mentioned in the newspaper as one of the son's of a police officer a couple of weeks ago. Ah well, hopefully this isn't any indication that Alec is going to be uber-trendy now, Alec is my favorite nickname for Alexander and I happen to love it on it's own too.So WDYT?Thanks,JamieEdit: Spelling.
2nd Edit: x2 indicates there are two of them, not three. In case there's any confusion.

Some comments: Kenna (my friend’s baby) - This is about the 3rd Kenna I've heard of this year. Seems an odd name to become popular, but maybe it's because of McKenna (and I agree that Kenna is better!).
JaiLeigh - I know boys and girls with the Jale-/Jayl- names and I CAN'T understand the attraction! This one is particularly bad because of the odd capitalization and the Jail- smacks you in the face. 'Yes, my child is going to jail.' :b
Trentity (This is just awful) - I agree, this is the worst I've seen in a while! If you're going to spell a name kre8tivlee, at least do it so it is pronounced the same! (I'm pretty sure they are pronouncing it like Trinity, don't you think?)
Marlena - Do you think they like Days of Our Lives?? lolTaighten - Uck. Looks made up, no matter how you spell it.
Trevyn - Also made up
Braeden - I'm sick of this name already, no matter you spell it, either.

NikolasReally dislike:Zoey - any spelling of Zoe that has a 'y' on the end of it looks like it should belong to a cartoon duck. (Dewey, Hughey and the other one's sister, maybe!)
JaiLeigh - and the word 'jail' as the first syllable of their daughter's name doesn't bother them any?
Trentity - hmm. Someone was carrying a box containing the letters for the words 'trinity' and 'entity', they tripped, and this was the result.Taighten - looks like 'tighten' to me.
Trevyn - *groans*
Landon - land on what? the moon?
Braeden - would you like to buy a consonant?
