Conservatives should counter this trend by giving their daughters names like Daisy, Rose, Ashley, and Grace.

Indeed. Remember, Barack Obama's mother's name was Stanley.

We chose a gender-neutral name, Riley, for my daughter,” said Lori Kinkler, a psychologist in San Antonio, Texas.
Wasn't Riley the girl from Pixar's Inside Out. ?

The best option is the Polish one - if a name ends in “a” it is female (it’s the same with nouns since Polish has masculine, feminine and neuter nouns) - if it ends in a consonant it is male. So Tomasz, Dominik, Artur are male as as the words pies, kot, budynek and Weronika, Ania, Anna are female as as the nouns krowa, herbata, kawa

B'karov etzlech Megan dear!

I think Taylor Swift has also made the name ‘Taylor’ synonymous with smart, intelligent, creative, and feminine women!

All that and more :)

HUGS!

Taylor Caldwell also comes to mind. Think of her as Ann Coulter’s grandmother.

OMG. My oldest is 26 and when he was in preschool all the girls were named Harley and Ryder and McKay and such. This is not new. In fact, if you hear of a Sydney, it’s a girl. A Luca is a boy. This is old.

There are a lot of us Swifties here. I listen to Rep every single day. And I’m so close to actually paying the big 2nd hand $ to go see her finally.

The funny thing is, in the preschool world, if I heard a kid was called Riley, I’d know it was a girl these days.

Be sitting down when you look at StubHub.

Then I think, do I just want to be there, even if I can’t see much (except for the screen)? Or do I really want decent seats (not floor, you see better a little up) and really get the most out of it, and not have any spending money fo a month or so?

Here it will be at the Rose Bowl which is YUGE. And probably kind of chilly at night in May.

So what's the most outrageous AA name you've ever come across? And BTW, did you get a new kitten? You have to check out the KitKat Playroom, featuring NINE 4-5 week old baby kittens, all colors. So adorable!

I went to HS in the 70s with a guy named Beverly. Drop dead gorgeous, nobody gave him grief, super popular.

I’m looking at Indianapolis in Sep. Still seats as low as $46.50 (upper level). Thinking about 2nd level with a straight view into the stage for $119.00.

If you can Yaelle, do it!!

You won't regret it, I am going in September when Tay comes to KC.

Her 1989 concert was the best I have ever been too, was in the pit. I had the time of my life.
