what's in a name?

To all my married friends out there (as requested)
Who are having babies
This is mostly for you

But to anyone else who is like me
And just finds this fun
This is for you too

Teaching 900+ students I have A LOT of names to remember.
The harder the name, the easier it is to remember. It sorta stands out.
So here are some of the most popular names of students in my school
And the newest, trendy names of all the Kindergartners...
And some unique names too.

If you're planning on having a stork drop off a little bundle to you soon, or need some name ideas, then yes, this is the post for you!
