I just read the top ten names for boys and girls in Parade magazine tonight. It made me laugh because I swear it hasn't changed in the last five years. (Maybe more.)

Ok, when I had Addie, I had only known of one or two girls with that name. I checked lists on the internet frequently throughout my pregnancy because I did not want to name her something that was ranked anything higher than #75 or so. I never saw her name on the list, and now all of a sudden it's #11?!?! Oh well. At least she's spelled Addisen.

I know! Your little girl is the only Addisen I know. One of my friends is naming her boy Addison. Those are the only instances I've heard that name. It's really cute!

That is fun to see where Andrew falls. It's is also funny because of the girl names we really like is also in the top 10. So much for picking unpopular names.
