The 'Hottest baby names of 2011' are shocking

These names are awful! I am so tired of this. It's like people look in phone books and pick out last names and pass them off as first names - or, they just take a bunch of letters and arrange them in a way that makes a word, and pass it off as a name. What happened to names like William, David, Michelle, or Alyssa? Bleahhhhh....

Archer . . . gotta be from the FX tv show "archer". Those people have very odd expectations for their child.

I have four brothers and 2 sisters=7 in total (I knowww! Lol)
All of us were named after relatives that were in the war.
For my brothers there are:My oldest brother,22,is named Paris.After my grandpa.Then there is London,22,after my great-uncle,Renee,21,After my other great uncle,and then Michael 20,my other grandpa.
For my and my sisters:Vanessa,20,after my grandma,Me,20,Adriana,other grandma,and my little sister,20,Natalie or "Natty".
All of our names are special in our own little way.I love my name.

I like Archer, Everett, Asher, Mila and Adele.

I have a Lilith, a Xander, and a Gemma...we gave our kids unique first names, but normal middle names so they can go however they want when they are older. But at least my kids won't be the only one with unique names anymore!

had a baby girl 3 and half weeks ago,named her Annabelle, classic name yet never over used, one that in 30 years she will be able to walk into a job and say "Hello, I"m Annabelle" and not have people think odd thoughts about her name

Mila & Adele are the only ones I like.
When my kids were born, I wasn't looking for trendy, I was looking for something I liked, because I liked it. Not because someone famous, actress/actor/athlete gave that name to their kid.

I didn't go through a huge book, I just wrote down J names that I liked, dad wrote down J names, and we settled on one. Her middle name is after a floral shop that I fell in love with in 3rd grade, and so many years later, it was still in business. I remember walking by it so often as a kid "I love that store, I love the name..one day if I have a daughter...." Oddly, it was also 4 blocks from the OB/GYN! #2 has my sister's middle name, she passed away 3 years before. Thank God my mother in law put her foot down when her son wanted to spell it eriKa. ohnos! 1 battle I didn't have the energy for. I went through life spelling my name and I didn't want her to have to do the same either! Now we just say "Erica with a C" Though I had my equal moment of dumbness.
"If she's born in november (like my gramma) we should name her after her, it would be sweet.
Yeah, Velma. Baby came in December. Good for her!! I probably would have passed on it by then, anyway. I don't think I was even consious when they asked for the baby name!

I really like the name Everett for a boy. I've never considered that before. And now, because it's popular, I'd NEVER consider it.
I am so glad my daughter has a pretty, unique (but not crazy) name that not a lot of other people have. Although, we are starting to hear it around now. I don't want it to get too popular though. But for God's sake, she has 4 little friends named Ava, 4 named Madison, 3 named Emily and another 4 named Isabella.
My daughter's name is Lyla. It is actually an old name, and yes, we changed the spelling. The old spelling is Lila, but we changed it to the "y", not to be different, but to help people pronounce it correctly. I personally sometimes wish we had gone with "Lila" though....

Oh for Heaven's sake. Those names are so ridiculously pretentious. I can usually tell when someone is completely full of themselves by the "creative" names they give their kids. I seriously doubt that Beckett or Luna or Harper is going to turn out to be any more creative or intelligent than Jim, Mary or Jenny. Get over yourselves.

I have to agree with KarlyH, I think Hadley was also inspired in part by True Blood, where there is also a Luna and Adele. I saw Archer and thought of the FX show.

Nope I don't like trends. Pippa sounds like some sort of flute or woodwind instrument. The long version of Phillipa sounds much nicer and if I had to shorten it I would just call the girl Pippi.

Pippa???? Please say this is a joke because you can't possibly be serious. How ridiculous can some people get to stick their girl with this handle.

i would love to see my name on the list; it's the name of a city in the bible, but everyone thinks im named after the mermaid. but i was born 2 years before The Little Mermaid even came out in theatres.

Flynn is probably from Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom's son

Pippa is not a name is ugly... Luna (meaning Moon in spanish) is beautiful... love Adele and Mila...nooooooooooooo Pippa, she is just ugly..don't care if she is Ms. Kate sis...

omg I was looking at the name Adele (but pronounced Adelee) last year and Adeline. I also love Harper.

Luna is my dogs name....

If anything is "trending now" or "trendy," I high-tail it the opposite direction as fast as I can.
