Maybe it's because I heard the name Alex SO MUCH growing up (on boys and girls), but Alexander, for me, is played out. I might've considered it as a middle name once or twice, but otherwise... I guess I'm alone on BtN in thinking this, though, since it just set a record for votes.

I didn't used to like Violet - thought it was one letter away from "violent." Much preferred Viola (still like it). But Violet has grown on me.

So glad my girl Josephine is getting love here! She was most popular during WWI, though currently she's just below the Top 100 in the United States. I'd like to see more little Josephines.
