I was reading the Mommy Files today (what?) and am loving this list of "elite baby names." Apparently the Daily Beast figured out what rich people are naming their heirs and I find the whole thing fascinating. Here are my favorites:
Girls
2. SERAPHINA (what? really?)
4. ELIZABETH (holla!)
8. SOPHIA (after Petrillo, no doubt.)
10. MAISIE (eyeroll.)
19. IMOGEN (I actually know someone who named their kid this.)
20. HARPER (After Lee, right?)
22. MATILDA (Love it.)
23. STELLA (Love it.)
Boys
1. HENRY (Love it.)
2. FINN (Love it.)
5. ASHER (See Kai.)
7. JASPER (Jasper brings drugs to people in rehab.)
9. KAI (So he's going to be gay and an idiot? Terrific.)
10. ATTICUS (also Jake Gyllenhaal's dog. FYI)
18. MILO (This stops being cute when you hit 35.)
20. PHINEAS (is this really necessary?)
24. AUDEN (or anyone quoted in Four Weddings and a Funeral.)
25. SILAS (Jesus Christ...)

Let the record show that i named him Finn almost 4 years ago.
Let the record also show I named my dog Finn 6 years ago.
Did you see this really cool graph on Weather Sealed about how popularity of names have changed over the past 100 years?
Also, did you see that "Rhiannon" is nowhere on it?

actually, "Holla" would be a cute name for a girl.
I'm with you on Kai. It's terrible. Pretty much every name that begins with K is terrible.
Also, names with an ai combination seem fated to turn their bearers into snotty children who think they are gifted but are actually just obnoxious. Aiden, for example. The ultimate in bad names: Kaiden. It has the krappiness of k plus the obnoxious ai factor.
I think some of these names are from "Harry Potter."
My son is a Harper. Named after Roy Harper, the musician.
