Ava surprised me. In my daughter's classes there were none with that name, and a name book I have doesn't even list it. Also, I had not expected Tristan.

Gertrude? How could you even think of doing that to a girl?

I guaran-damn-tee, any girl born today and named Gertrude by her parents WILL change her name to Kaetlyn and wear pasties and a g-string to work.

I take baby names very seriously.

There are two steps parents can take with regard to their newborns, the taking of which helps 99% of the time and the omission of which hurts 99% of the time.

First is reading aloud to the child.

Second is giving the child a normal, non-made-up, no-bad-future-guaranteeing name. Jaden, Caden, Braden, Kayleigh, Nevaeh, whatever your friends are naming their babies, and anything beginning with La that is immediately followed by a capital letter or an apostrophe - shun them all.

Indeed, I knew a Gertrude-cum-Kaetlyn who did exactly that. A pity she worked as a CPA.

My grandmothers were Faye Belle and Elfa (!), and I had female ancestors rejoicing in the names Rosebud and Albertina Alaska . . . so you can guess how glad I was when my sister had an Abigail, and then an Emma-and-Elizabeth duo.

With regard to given names, hyphens are the same as apostrophes, and should be shunned as if plague-bearing.

The surest way to jack up a given name beyond repair is to introduce punctuation into it.

By what source are they able to make this claim?

I don't believe it.

Only a scientific poll of birth certificates could make this claim, and it would have to be just a sample.

Braden is an Irish/Gaelic origin name, just like the name Aiden is.

It's NOT made up.

When you come from a nearly 100% Irish family like my brother and I do, those names aren't bad at all.

My dad's idea was to name me Philo. I think the hope was that I would adopt the possibility of my silver screen name sake.

My mom was very against this idea and it took her until the 9th hour to come up with an alternative they agreed on.

I am sick of all the stupid, pretentious names on those lists. Not to mention hearing them around neighborhoods.
