Why James and Wyatt, of all male names? I don't understand why those two in particular are making the shift. I *sort* of understand James, via Jamie, but Wyatt confuses me. What is it that parents are trying to capture when they use Wyatt on a girl? Is it because the "-att" is like an evolution of "-ette"? Is it a cowboy-cool thing? Wyatt seems so....unlikely. It makes about as much sense to me as making Dwight or Elmer into a fresh new girl's name.

I love George and Georgie on girls, but as pet names for Georgia, Georgina, etc. Just-George seems a bit, hmm, clumsy.
