Totally OT but in the 80's we thought by the year 2000 we'd be wearing silver space suits.

Oh so i should put mine back in the cupboard then

It's not that, but I can't help thinking that most of those names are boring even by todays standards. Surely we would have gotten tired of them but then. I mean look at the popular names we had ten years ago. You hardly see any of them now.

i would of thought the names would be a bit more stranger!!

At work (child care) I used to look after a little girl called Marie-Claire and she was the sweetest little dalrin! So I love that name! However there are sooooo many names I cant use because it makes me think of a particular child throughout my career that had undesirable behaviour!

[*Nessa*]

Well I know a Annika

And had only heard of one before I named my daughter that!!! i think its a great name but still dont want alot of other kids named that, i like my DD having a unusual name
