Wowza. So many great, great names. But I had to put in a special kudo for Frederica. Man, I love that name. It's so in-your-face feminized that I have to admire it. My aunt and great aunt Frederica's were called Freda as a nn. I'm not sold on Freddie for a girl. But if that's the only way Frederica comes, then I'm all for it. By the way, was it pronounced, "freh-DREE-cuh" (three syllables) or "fred-eh-REE-cuh" (four syllables)?

Sorrell on a boy is neat.

Oh, and Paloma. She keeps cropping up. I hope it's a sign that she's becoming more popular as a name.
