The name game

Top questions we get asked after telling people we're pregnant:

1. Boy or girl? (dunno)

2. How are you feeling? (Is there some odd obsession to know if you feel like retching? Haven't had any morning sickness and feel great.)

3. Have you thought of any names? (yes and no..this leads us to this posting)

And of course, you can pour through name books for hours. Online, they have it organized by most popular each year. Who keeps track of this?
Do you go for most popular? Or, is it best to be unique?

Well, here's a list of some names sent to us recently based on actual names given to newborns at a hospital in St. Louis. And NO, we aren't going with any of then, regardless of how creative they might be! Enjoy!
