RE: Is your name in?
No one in my immediate family has a name on either the boy or girl list. My name usually makes it I think. Oh well, I don't like to roll popular anyway.

RE: Is your name in?
Nup. My name isn't anywhere near those lists. I've only ever met one person with my name....and
she spelt it differently. I don't really like many of those girls names, a lot of them seem very 'trendy'
were as people seem to be a little bit more traditional when giving boys names.
Naming kids is hard though, I never wanted my little girl to go through the hell I went through with
a name, nor did I want her to sit down on her 1st day of school and have 6 other kids in her
year with the same name.

Wow, that's a cool name, especially if pronounced with an Aussie accent, at least when I say it out loud in my best Aussie accent. Jemima, pretty.

RE: Is your name in?
Is there a list of the top 10 names in Mexico Chiwas? They might stray a bit further
from the the UK, US, & Oz list...

I can't believe my name didn't make the list! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] It's tied as the most common name in my company. My sister's name even made the list, and her's is certainly more rare. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] ?

Here is the picture that painted in my mind.... Mrs. Salt (9 months pregnant) and Mr. Salt sitting down at breakfast eating pancakes. Once the last bite was taken of the last pancake Mr. Salt says "let's call her Veruca!"
Was that what it was like?

No, not a whole lot.
I can't eat any of them anymore...but there was just something about
pancakes and waffles that bugged me. Maybe it was just too many
in my childhood.
