77 babies, and 10 of them are -ayden or -aylen names (various spelled, natch.) And that's not counting Payton or Kaitlyn.

In my ongoing documentation of a special Athenian naming pattern, -ious and especially -avious, I note two fathers of the above named Kenderrious and Dextavious.

Coles?

Kennedi?!?!?!

...and Messiah and Mason...which one is the boy and which is the girl?

[flea]

I wonder if Coles is the mother's maiden name. At least it's on a boy and not a girl this time.

Messiah is the girl, which is extra amusing. Girls cannot be the baby Jesus, people!

Woo, Michael Stipes!

Something about the sibling set "Lucy, Camille, Julian" screams hipster to me. Also, I know a Scarlett (older sister Cleo).

[flea]

Yeah, that family has a dad who runs a fancy wine shop and a mom who's a landscape architect. They're super-nice, though.

I know *two* Scarletts! But then, I live in the South.

Herself's great first-grade nemesis is a "Camille"! They have these ginormous battles for personal status which sometimes involve being friends and sometimes involve pulling each other off the monkey bars and getting into slapfights (at least the most recent time, Herself got pulled off the monkey bars and Camille got detention. Whew.)
