What's in a Name?

I wouldn't be me if I didn't post something totally random every now and then. I get these emails from babycenter.com that tell me the normal progress of growth for children (our kids are right up there of course!) and also provide parenting articles. I received one the other day that listed the top 100 baby names for 2005.

Out of curiosity, I checked it out. You may be interested to know that Ella is now ranked #16 on the list. Holy cow! Her name was ranked #89 back in 2002, which is why we picked it. We were trying to be original and wanted her to have a unique name. It jumped to #44 in 2003, #29 in 2004 and then the astonishing #16 last year. Lily was ranked #52 in 2004--yet another reason we picked it, not incredibly popular. And now, its ranked #26 for 2005! It was #69 in 2003, and #79 in 2004. What the heck?! So much for unique names!
