Henry James - His parents literature professors, by any chance?
Josiah PatrickI *would* like Isabelle Olivia Grace, if it weren't such an overload of currently popular names.
I'd also prefer Oakley on a girl (in fact it's the name of one of my characters in something I'm writing - her mother's maiden name).
What, exactly, is "Swaley?"
Thomas Michael is quite boring. But at least he won't be teased for his name.You also have both a Guya and Girlie in this post... not names I'd like to have, to say the least (especially not Girlie... wow).

I have no idea about Swaley. My friend (who's nephew it is) thought it was a made up name. I Googled it and apparently it is an Old-English word / place name but I assume the mother (who I don't know) just heard it somewhere and used it.Oakley is proving to be quite trendy for baby boys here. I assume influenced by the sunglasses brand but don't know. Not my style.Isabelle is a baby I know of and I think the parents did deliberately use all their favourite names as she may turn out to be an only child. I think it's nice, but a bit of a mouthful.Don't know anything about the parents of Henry James. They are either huge fans of his writing or have never heard of him and so the association has passed them by!
