    This is fun! I'm really not big on the non-traditional/trendy/invented names, so some of these names are really weird to me. What's your favorite? Which baby is reppin' your state?

    New York: Nicole and Rania

    ....aaaand I just noticed that Maryland (where the wedding is) is missing from this list. Oh well.

    I like Zoey Antoinette from Oregon. It's original without being strange.

    @mrsjazz: First name aside, the hyphenation in the middle name is baffling.

    @78h2o: I've never understood why people get mad/upset about this.  You still get the tax deduction for 18 years either way.

    2 states with Aubrey? It's a boy's name, but I suspect those babies are girls.

    LOL, New Mexico is Daytona ?? who names their kid Daytona??

    @brenda.m.fields: I have 3 friends with the name Aubrey, all 3 are girls. I have never heard of it being used for a boys name before, only girls.

    @MrsMouse:  For some reason, in the 80s, it popped up as a girl's name, probably by similitude to Audrey, but it was originally a male name or French origin. In fact, it's the rapper Drake's first name.

    These names are either boring or totally wack. Yikes! I once worked in a L&D department and I remember laughing as I realized the child I was holding was named Malikai, and the newborn a co-worker was holding was Jaxxon. Really people?! haha.

    Did anyone check out the names on the 2011 and 2010 lists? There were some pretty interesting names in years past!

    California: Sophia.  So boring.  I know like 7 kids with that name under the age of 5.  

    I feel bad for little Kalylah from South Dakota. Her parents were trying SO SO hard to be original.

    Aww bless, Idaho's first baby has my name - Melissa.  I didn't think anyone still named their child that any more.  

    ETA:  West Virginia -  Adian.  Was this a typo or a new twist on Aidan?   Also, how do you pronounce it?   Ah-dee-an?   Ah-DI-an?   Ad-ee-an?

    Minnesota isn't on there :(

    I'm so surprised so many people hate the name Shekinah! I grew up with a Christian background, so I knew a few people with the name, we nicknamed one girl I know "Shynie" it was cute in my opinion. I think it's a cute name. Though you are right, the full name is a mouthful

    Of the list, i love Wesley - it was one of our top names!

    Funny some of the pop culture names represented: Khloe (Kardashian??!), Bella (Twilight!) and Daytona (500?),

    @Mrs.KMM:  Ooh ooh, welcome to GA in a few weeks.

    Georgia: Thatcher James.....Not too bad..... I can dig it I guess. I'm not a huge fan of "Thatcher," but I get it.

    Some of these are really strange. FI even thought Daytona was a bit much and he is a racing fan.
