I've always had a girl's name picked out that I never heard until the past couple years...Arianna Rose. Unfortunately my cousin stole the entire name and used it for her youngest daughter. I was a bit upset to say the least. But it does seem more popular now so I'm kinda glad we didn't use it.
Our daughter's birthfamily chose her first name, we chose the middle. Sasha Kaylynn
She was going to be Kaylynn Sasha, but at the hospital we thought Sasha suited her better for a first name. But now we have to explain to everyone we didn't chose it b/c of Barack's daughter. Her big brother picked it and I don't really think in elementary school he was aware of the elections! haha. So I'm sure Sasha will be a very popular name as she grows up. Kay is my mom's middle name, Lynn is mine and it was my 2nd favorite behind Arianna growing up.
Other favs are:
Lily Grace-after my great grandma
Clara or Claire-after a great aunt
Jocelyn-just because I think it's beautiful
