Well, that and the fact that I was told that I wasn't, in fact, having a boy, and that in all likelihood I was having a girl. But maybe the rise in popularity as a boy's name has squished the girly usage.<br /><br />I'm afraid I have the most austere, fun-killing great aunt called Nora which rather biases my opinion on that one. Can't help you there. <br /><br />In fact, you seem to have many of my great aunts' names in your list. One set of them were Irish in origin, so this is probably not too surprising.<br /><br />I chose my daughter's name in a dream at 8 weeks pregnancy (or maybe just as I was falling asleep - some such). It's the hardest thing in the world to name kid. I wish you the best of luck!Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977679825245376111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-87937957098197883822010-01-19T16:50:16.701-08:002010-01-19T16:50:16.701-08:00I really like Delaney.

My copies of some of them have pages falling out they were read so often.<br /><br />I wonder if the drop off in Darcy as a girl's name has anything to do with associations with Mr Darcy of Pride and Prejudice fame? It's weird how fashions in names change so radically.mimbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907569024689875694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-82417036177329586282010-01-19T00:42:43.459-08:002010-01-19T00:42:43.459-08:00I love the name Norah!!

I have never heard that name before I think it's very unique. But my vote is for Norah if your taking votes lol. Norah in latin it means "Woman of honor" btwJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551432325846188730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-27556754967658424162010-01-18T13:44:51.874-08:002010-01-18T13:44:51.874-08:00Norah is my favorite here by far!
