While browsing the Internet tonight, I found something of interest. MSN features the most popular baby names of 2007. I always find this interesting to see how names come and go in generations. I still remember when my little sister, Allison, was born in 1985- Jessica and Stephanie were all the rage that year- they were the cutest names ever and we of course wanted my parents to name her one of these. It's funny now though because I can't remember the last time I've heard of anyone naming a new baby either of those names. Funny how things change.
So.. What happened in baby names in 2007? The results are in: Emma has finally been knocked off its number one perch for the first time since 2004! It made me think- what makes a name timeless and classic? And isn't it funny how some names are a total reflection of pop culture- "Addison jumped a whopping 20 spots this year to land in the top 10 — no doubt thanks to the hot TV series "Grey's Anatomy" and its spin-off, "Private Practice."

For those of you with kids, did anything inspire you to name your kid what you did? Or.. was there a name that you used to swear you'd name a child, that when the time finally came, you had lost the love? Interesting discussion.

I love looking at the popular baby names. With both of my kids I had liked their names for years. It was easy to choose them. This time I don't have any that I love. I feel like I will just name the next baby the name that I don't dislike rather than one I love. Let me know if you have any cute name ideas for girls especially.
