Lol. Was it that obvious? All of the Cullen's names are fabulous. I remember when I first read Twilight and Bella mentioned how they have such weird, old fashioned names, I was a little taken aback. I didn't find them weird and could see them at any age. I dunno, I'm just a name-nerd like that.

Agreed on all accounts :-)
I'm a fan of the series as well. Well, I'm a fan of the first book - my sister lent the rest of her books to friends so I haven't read any of the others yet :/ I'm sort of hesitant to because I'm told they have a lot to do with Jacob and I don't really like him much.
I can't wait for the movie. It's going to be so awesomely b-movie bad :-) GP all the way.
Gah - back on names! It's the book that helped wear me down on Jasper haha I'd seen the name a bunch here on the ops boards and was thinking it was alright but then I read the book and began to see it everywhere and eventually it became a favorite!

The first thing I did was check the popularity on all of them and then I wanted to write Ms Meyer a letter about how "All of the Cullen 'children's' names were still in common usage except for Rosalie".

Lol! I originally wrote my reply as a long thing, which included how I searched the popularity and only Rosalie wasn't on the list (although it was on the list in the 1980s when the humans in the book were born)
In the 80s:
Rosalie ranked 921
Jasper ranked 661
Emmett ranked 853
Alice ranked 335
Edward ranked 57
Oh, how unpopular they were. Especially Edward.
I mean, if she wanted names that could at least be dated to the time they were born, she could have chosen *goes off and finds names that fit the characters*:
Blanche (for Rosalie)
Otto (for Jasper)
Emil (for Emmett, it's even really similar)
Mabel (for Alice)
And I don't know what for Edward. None of the names seem to fit him, and if they do, they have too much popularity.
