I would say these are actually the same name. ;)
Not all of us are Christians.
My daughter's middle name is Madison. We wanted TeQuila but it was taken.
High end boys' names look like Soap Opera Character names. LOL
My daughter has a high end name and my son has a low end name... I guess that makes us middle class...
FeMale ( pronounced with 3 syllables)is still the winner in my book for black female names!
Cool Name.....
My parents worked with a woamn named Appolonia! (She was known as "Bella")
She WAS Michael's bride, but also a saint- She was burned at the stake, or something like it, but before that she was torutured, including the extraction of all her teeth. Thus, Appolonia is the patron saint of dentists...
I kid you not.

My wife has an Aunt Bertha and a grandmother Blema.
I think I have the most unpopular name....Jeannine....maybe it'll pick up a little with Piro running now.
Oh, and an uncle Izzy.
Girl in Bakersfield named Shithead. REALLY! Her mother pronounces it She-thee-ad.
There oughtta' be a law. I should be able to sit in an office and review names.
:-D
the book Freakanomics has a whole chapter on this. The high end names of one generation become low end names ten years later. It is an interesting chapter, I'd recommend reading the book from the library it isn't worth owning.
Nope. Garfalo ruined it for ever.

Anyway, what stuns me is that Beverly Hills 90210 has been off the air for 10 years and Dylan is still hanging in there as a trendy name.
My wife met an American Indian named "Falls Down". It was on his business card.
