She was born in Croatia and lived most of her life in the Czech Republic, and also is almost 80. Definitely not common around here though Content: More of an awesome name, but I was reading in one of my textbooks about a pioneering Canadian neurosurgeon named Skip Peerless.

I have delivered so many Graysons/Greysons this year. It's been a big year for Graysons, Jacksons/Jaxens/Jacksyns, and Theodores.

I have an acquaintance from high school (who I haven't actually spoken to in 20 years but have on my facebook) who named her sons Grayson and Trig. She's forever associated with Sarah Palin in my brain now, and I hate to do that because she's really a very nice person

Istari posted:A new crop of kindergarteners just started. I don't think Xavier is that bad of a name, but it reminds me of when I was in the same car as two friends, and one informed us that the other guy's ex-fiance had called her kid that. Because of the way he pronounced it, the other guy spent five minutes marveling at what a lovely name "Savior" was and how glad he was that he had dodged that bullet. Weldon Pemberton has a new favorite as of 17:53 on Nov 9, 2015 |

Rod Driver. His successor is Marguerite Bumpus which is kinda funny, too. He's seen as a bit of a whackjob, mostly because he speaks out against the Israeli government and is a math nerd Quaker, but he's an all right dude in my book.
