Help[Opinions] Re: Ja'mar and Ja'mir
in reply to a message by Cora
Jamar, Ja'ziah, Ja'mar, and Ja'mir. Ja'got to be kidding me! :-/
(Sorry couldn't help it, lol.)
Kelli & Kyle are going to smack themselves eventually when one of them says a name and two people come running. The 'yelling at the end of the house' test--or whatever it's called--is usually for siblings, I think, but in this case it's for the parents, too.
I'm not familiar with Henry James, but I agree it's a good idea to google possible name combos. I've seen quite a few boys named Dylan Thomas--and after other famous people and literary figures that I can't think of right now--that I'm sure didn't enter the mind of the parents when naming their child. :b
Marcella Antonia-Elizabeth is way too frilly for me, but pretty nonetheless.
Speaking of Henry, it's apparently a popular name in my neighborhood--3 young boys that I know of named Henry. And I live in a "rich" part of town, so it may be trickling down to us 'average' folk soon. Ugh. I should've known it would becoming overly popular since I started liking it. :( [BTW, I'm not "rich" by any means. My little quadplex apt. brings down the property values around here I'm sure. But it's gorgeous around here, barely any crime. Just a lot of people with their noses stuck in the air. LOL.]

Nooooo!
Henry can't become popular. It will be ruined for me. Say it ain't so!
I know it is rising in popularity in the US, but so far, this is the first one I've heard of in my area, and that hospital is about 35 minutes away anyway, so when I say "my area," I mean it in a broad way. Who knows, though? By the time I have kids, I don't know where I'll be living or what will be popular by then. I only hope not my favorites!

Don't despair. I've just been seeing it a lot on these boards lately and in my area some. I've only seen one at the hospital in the last 2 years, though, so that's a good sign. :b And it doesn't seem to be shooting up the charts at the moment, just steadily rising. Something to be aware of, I guess.
