Born to the Park Mommy clan:

Jasper, older brother Emmett (not sure of spelling). Since to me Jasper evokes a 90 year old New England bachelor farmer, I find it especially amusing that his father's last name is strongly ethnic Ukrainian, and his mother's equally strongly Italian.

Elliot (not sure of spelling), a girl to be called Elly, older brothers Jonah and Evan. Scrubs notwithstanding, I still consider Elliot a boy's name, and there are tons of things to name your kid if you want to call her Elly.

I also met a 3 month old Florence recently, older sister Laura.

Names in Casper's class at school, almost all approaching 2.5 years: Olivia and Delancey (identical twin girls), Isabelle, Stephanie, Jasleen (girl), Chase, Connor, Evan, Ian, Kabir (boy), Lee (boy). Jasleen's father is a Sikh I think, and Kabir's mother is South Asian, and Stephanie's father is British, and I think everyone else is white Americans.

Names in contention for the Armadillo, at least in my head right now:

Flora, Louisa, Laura, Caroline, Shyanne just checking to see if you were reading, Mary/Maria/Maryanne?, Margaret except that's my boss' name, Sasha except that's RF Dad's name ugh, Alice.

Paul, Peter, Ant(h)ony, Joseph but for the misfortune that will be obvious if you know mr. flea's last name and think of Friends, Edward/win, Jeremiah I wish it's an ancestral name and I love it although it's weird but I really dislike Jerry, William but the world is too abundant in Wills right now and I don't like Bill.

Because Theo and I think alike (and work intervened) she beat me to the Jeremy suggestion. I think you're right that Jeremiah is doomed to nicknaming, but somehow I never hear Jeremy shortened.

Too bad about Mariah Carey, because it's a Mary/Maria variant I like when it's not on her.

You're right about Joseph, and I always think of Sasha as a boy name since the world's cutest nephew graced us with his bratty presence.

Skanky ho Carey has RUINED Mariah! So sad. But now I've though of Marina, although you'd always have people wondering if it was Mar-EYE-nah or Mar-EE-nah.

I am a leetle bit tempted to go for Joseph ON PURPOSE for the joke. But, no.
