Baby Names!
Oct. 1st, 2012 10:54 amMy new (half-)nephew was born today: Landon Thomas, to Gracia and my brother Chris.
A friend from high school had twins: Benjamin Eli and Gabriel Ian. Parents are Alexa and Scott.
K-1 Students at Dillo's school (from artwork on the wall; we don't have a directory yet): Elijah, Danny, Marcus, Symone, Nicholas, Michelle, Allyson, Sofia, Baylee, Alice, Blake (f), Burke, Claire, Mekhi, AJ, Dougie, Julian, Andrew, Aubrey, Leo, Rowen (m), Jake, Sydney, Melanie, Liam, Mia, Roman, Audrianah, Jack, Roniya, Kailey.
I am mostly struck by the presence of 3 names that I think of as dating pretty firmly from the 1970s - Michelle, Allyson, and Melanie are all much more common among my peers than Dillo's.
