When my sister was due with DD1 she was going through names with the family, I mentioned Brooke as a possible name. 'Oh no... don't like that, it's... blah...'. Brooke Ella was born eight weeks later. My brother really liked the name Summer for a girls name for when he eventually married and had kids. My sister used to always comment on '...why would you want to call your kid that?!' (ok, my brother wants/wanted to call his daughter Summer Quinn, but she turned her nose up at both names). Of course, she beat my brother to it - when she had DD2 guess what she was named? Go figure!

Me? I think DH and I are going to stick with more traditional names, although DH did think it'd be an awesome idea to give DD my name as a middle name (Tannya). Hate hate hate my name, especially when I was little at school - I had a 'weird name that nobody could say properly and nobody could spell...' My middle name's no better!
