Lol yes Olive is a nice name. That would have sucked for hannah.. Her name would be "celery with peanut butter". Doesn't really have a nice ring
To it lol

Most who spell it tanya pronounce it Tonya but somehow all the girls in my 7th grade class pronounced it the same as i do lol

Oh, it's not terrible as a middle name....still sort of unfortunate though, but the meaning behind it is very sweet.

Tanya, a friend of mine's sister CHANGED her first name to Celery after going vegan (and slightly crazy).

I like my son , I got it from a old show "American Gothic " the little kids name was Caleb , It stuck with me.

My oldest is Cyle , pronounced Kyle , it gets butchered all the time . syle is a commone mispronunciation.

The rest all have normal names
Jacob
Victoria
Virginia
Nicholas

If Caleb would have been a girl he would have been named Nola .
Victoria middle name is Rae , pronounced Ray, after my granny.

My name is weird , but my parents are weird so yeah.

Thora-Raina is my middle names. lol

Ah, I see. It's stuff like "carry" and "Larry" that I say differently than you, not "Kerry" and "berry"... I say "Kerry" and "berry" the way you do, but say "carry" and "Larry" the exact same way, too.

I grew up with a very common name, and my husband grew up with an uncommon name. People still always pronounce/spell his name wrong, but he says he's happy that he doesn't have a common name.

I wish I had an uncommon name. Not something like Apple or Pilot Inspector, but something just a little different.
Same. I always had like a gazillion Brittany's in my class. I wish my middle name was first name (Jade). I like it so much better.

Btw, Paige, I love the name Briggs. Our lawyer, who has become our friend, is named Briggs though so now all I ever think of is him. I had never heard of anyone else being named Briggs until seeing your little boy. :) Love it though!

I love the name Briggs as well. It's uncommon, but not weird.

Also, I think parents should take the last name into account as well. If your last name is Hunt, then Mike shouldn't be an option for a first name!

Reminds me of Office Space where the guy's name is Michael Bolton. I've met people who "share" names with celebrities and they've gotten so many comments about their names. LOL.
