Hm. Now I feel as though I should show off some highlights from
August. Let's see.
Adedayo and
David welcome
Dorcas Adedamola, the first
Dorcas I've ever seen. She joins siblings Doyin, Dotun, and Dokun.
Shi'Kira Ophelia gives unto our community the first instance of
Ophelia it has seen in many years. She joins JaBrien, Montricia, and Connah.
Kenya and
King welcome
Kayla Essence Michelle, who joins brother
King David and introduces the concept of the name "
Essence."
Karma Elizabeth enters the world in an adorable pink Harley-Davidson babysuit, making
Elizabeth look startlingly dull next to startling in general Karma.
For girls, trendy cutesy names abounded, including but not limited to
Kaidence Leigh (siblings
Trinity and
Elisha),
Mckenna Raelyn, Addison Leigh, Kambell Claire (sister Kennady),
Brynnley Savannah (brother
Ashton),
Jordyn Autumn (brother
Jamie),
Krista Aaralyn (siblings
Milan and
Dakota),
Dakota Lynne (brothers
Adam and
Justin),
Ava Reese (siblings
Kyle and
Lauren),
Jazmyn Maranda (siblings
Justice,
Michael Jr,
Michaela, and
Jacques) and
Madisyn Alaine (siblings
Morgan,
Austin, and
Michelle). Interestingly enough, there is a more sensibly named
Madison Elaine in an adorable dress (
http://www.eamc.org/stork/babyphotos/DSCN3120.JPG) with siblings
Elizabeth and
Wiley. There are also two African-American girls named
Madison:
Madisyn Michelle (sibling Amorri) and
Madison Trenae (siblings Traco and Zarian, both boys), which is the first time I've seen
Madisyn on anyone not white.
There are some gems, though. There's a
Dorcas, mentioned above, which really delights me.
Genevieve Rachel was born
August 9. As far as made-up names go,
Adelyn Kristina (joining
Emma) is quite nice.
Sophie Marie (brother Stillman) and
Lillian Grace are both pretty impressive, despite the filler mn's.
Laura Catherine joins
Tamra,
Josie, and
Stewart.
Mary Margo may win the prize for being superiorly named this month.
Eli Bransen wins for having the largest quality discrepancy between first and middle name.
Zarrell Cordarius (brothers
Zacchaeus and Zuntavious) wins as the most daring set of names individually, and also the most exciting sibset.
Braydon William and
Christopher Brayden tie for worst name present overall. Most of the other names were fairly unremarkable. A few Ty'Quavion Martrez sorts, and lots of
Jacob Glenn sorts.
hm.
