I got a class list of Casper's classmates this week. Almost all children are 4 or 5 right now, since the cut-off date for schools is Oct. 15. Number after the name is their rank on the social security lists in 2003:
Girls:
Isabelle 109
Lauren 15
Bianca 162
Leslie 91
Alondra 168 (wow! I'd never heard it before)
Tamara 498
America 509
Karen 141
Maya 84
Stephanie 49
Evelyn 88

Boys:
Ulises 641
Alejandro 100

Ulises? Ulises? *weeps*

Alex's class has:

Girls - Adrienne, Alexandra (2 of them; fortunately the other goes by Ally), Clara, Isabelle, Lilah, Lucia, Sylvie.
Boys - Denmark, Errol, Gabriel, Jonathan, Leo, Nick.

Errol was a pirate for Halloween. :-)

Ulises is almost certainly Hispanic, which makes it the *correct* spelling, not the koerekt speling! About 30-40% of the school is spanish-speaking, mostly 1st generation immigrants (or US-born children of same) from Mexico. I'm betting Fabian is latino, too. Unless his parents are big doo-wop fans.

But, Denmark? Hmmm. Errol's parents had better watch out for a tiny moustache and tights...

We know a baby Fabian - his dad is from PR and mom is from Germany.

I'm stressing over baby boy names these days so I always like seeing your baby name posts.

ARYAN? Sure hoping that's a traditional Indian name...

Good call!

There was an Aryan in Sean's daycare for a while. I don't *think* he was East Indian but I never got up the nerve to ask his mother wherefore the name.

I'm surprised Karen is ranked so highly!
