baby names of the crunchy hipsters

[flea]

From a recent potluck:
Ivy Louise
Sophia and Ezra
Daisy and Victor
Miles
Luna and Ansel
Penny and Lucy

Born lately to a similar tribe: Juniper, big sister Vivian.

There's a barista at the coffee shop in my building named Altair, with a diaeresis over the a. I think the diaeresis should technically be over the i, but it's his name. It's Arabic, meaning eagle; also a star.

"In astrology, the star Altair was ill-omened, portending danger from reptiles."

Wikipedia is so fun sometimes.

(You're right, the diacritic belongs over the second vowel. Also, my crappy understanding of Arabic is that "al" means basically "the," so it doesn't usually end up in personal names although family names often use it. So your friend at the coffee shop isn't just Eagle, he is THE Eagle.)

There's a Sophia & an Ezra at our daycare (not in the same family, though). Haven't encountered any of the others yet.
