For our child, I wanted Gwenhyfar, for a girl, anf Finnegan, for a boy. Dh and I didn't agree on names. He wanted normal names. I wanted more unique ones. His were Heather and Thomas. Nice, but not unusual. His argument againts Finnegan was related to Mr. Dressup, a Canadian kids show featuring a dog puppet named Finnegan. The show isn't even on anymore. Anyway, we had a girl and named her Abigail, which was my second choice. But she has red hair, and I'm sure if we have a boy, he will too, and I think that a redheaded boy named Finnegan would be sweet!!

Mr. Dressup is on CBC every weekday morning in rerun. Casey and Finnegan were retired quite a while ago and I haven't seen any episodes with them.

My name is Indie. I've heard of Indias who use Indie for short, but I'm the only Indie I know. My grandmother's name is Etoy. It's a Native American name. I kind of hesitate to give my dd's name because I don't want there to be copy cats but oh well, it's Madeira. It's Portuguese. There is an island called Madeira and also a wine which is made there. I just hope no one calls her Maddie. DH and I are ready to fight that nickname off. It's much too common.

I know a little girl who was named after her Grandma "Ajetta" I guess her great-grandma had named her dolly that when she was a little girl, and loved it so much that she named her daughter that.

I've heard it on clifford now though, this little girl is now 7 or 8...so I know that she was named before the show came out :

Just in the last few days, I've met kids named Ehsan (pron.Ess-in) and Zampa.
I wanted to name our baby Linus, but DH nixed it, so his name is Mylo, which was my second choice.

I think the girl on Clifford is just named Jetta, although I could be wrong.
