Yes I do think some names like Apple, or Wind (not the Wind here on this board) are odd. It's one thing to be unique, but totally another thing to be out there.

Apparently a lot of people do, including my wife. I could give a rat's behind about any celebrity. Bottom line is no matter how much you read about these people, we don't know them. I got all excited about seeing two baseball players last week but I could care less about their personal lives. But hey, whatever floats your boat!

Oh, the magician guy from Penn and Teller. One of the two (either Penn or Teller) I can't remember. He just had another child and named it something strange as well.

I'm all for having a special meaning for the name you choose. I wanted a Irish name for both my boys so I got my little Irish names book out and chose from that. Yes, they may have been trendy at the time (which I really didn't care since I was chosing a name according to the meaning of the name)however, I and everyone else could pronounce it and it was an American name! I never even hear of Shiloh.If I hadn't read it was a girl I would have had no clue if that name was boy or girl.I guess I'm ignorant or oblivious but I honestly didn't even know Angelina was Hebrew. Is Brad too? I guess I just figured Angelina and Brad are normal names why did they name their child a strange name?
Thanks though for the meaning of the name. It is rather pretty. (Just like I'm sure she's gonna grow up to be

What are your boys' names Lisa? I know Alicia has a Liam (Irish for William) do you have one too? (sorry I can't remember)
I follow the celeb news too, I know it's seedy and rubbish but I enjoy it. The names have gone crazy though...Bob Geldof and Paula Yates started it...Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Peaches Blossom, but recently those names which were so far out in the 80s seem normal compared to some of the newer celebrity names. Then David Bowie's son Zowie was born before any of the Geldofs, but he goes by his second name of Duncan nowadays. Oh and don't Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's kids have unusual names too...Scout La Rue I think?
Geri Haliwell (ex Spice Girl) is in the news over here for having called her little girl Bluebell Madonna.
Check out this link for unusual names that musicians have given their kids. Some very strange ones and others downright normal- Like Britney's Sean Preston- I really like that!
I like simple names that people can spell, mostly Irish ones as they match Irish surnames pretty well, but each to their own I think, unless you are going to give your child an awful legacy of being teased on account of their name...

My boys are Kyle James (James after my father and grandfather) and Ryan Keith (Keith after who knows, just fit well together. My maiden name is your typical Irish last name. Starts with a Mc. (Don't want to put it on line tho.  )So I guess that actually only makes my boys like "part" Irish. Hubby is of German decent.
My Aunt and Uncle named their 3 boys, Danny, Sean, and Liam.
How bout the boxer George Forman who named all three of his boys George. Now how dumb is that! Fifi Trixabelle comes in close second. I can't believe that one! Too funny.
We have a Phillies Baseball player named Chase Uttley. I LOVE that name. A few years ago a friend of mine named her son Chase and I thought it was so weird, now after hearing it again years later it grew on me.

Kyle really made a comeback after Kyle McLachlan in twin peaks. I like your boys' names, short and simple!
I vaguely remember hearing the George Foreman story before, crazy!
Wasn't there a Chase in Falcon Crest? I think he was married to Maggie and was Colt's Dad? We used to love the American soaps for all the different names that we had never heard in them. Paige was a new one on me too.
Over here the most popular names at the moment for babies are Sean, Jack, Adam, Conor and James for boys and Emma, Katie, Sarah, Amy and Aoife (pronounced Ee-fa, Irish of Eve. Recently american style names are becoming more popular, like Dylan, Ava, Kayla, Noah.
Our Central Statistics Office publishes a report every year of the most popular baby names and analyses trends etc, it also lists the 100 most popular names. I find it compulsive reading- it's here if anyone else is interested.
Sinead was 47th most popular for baby girls born in 2004!
