When names are just too common

My friend S alerted me to this interesting article she found while trawling through American newspapers online. Click here to check it out!

I don't know about you, but I found it really unusual that this cute couple shared 'Kelly' as a first name. Sure, Kelly has occasionally been used as a male's name (Kelly Slater immediately springs to mind) but I was thinking it's probably more likely that they would share other unisex names, such as Jordan, Alex or Shannon. So, I think the sharing of 'Kelly' makes the story just that more interesting!

So what naming lessons can we learn from this? Well perhaps you may like to avoid unisex names altogether! You could even name your child with the appropriate gender equivalent (for example, instead of Alex call a girl Alexandria/Alexandra/Alessandra or a boy Alexander/Alessandro).
