I love the names Sebastian and Nigel but in most of America a kid would be ridiculed unmercifully by other kids for having one of those names. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

My children are relatively normal names! I liked the name Caleb but my Mom hated it because it reminded her of a nasty uncle she had! I also wanted Zac but with Jackson it was a rhyming disaster waiting to happen! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Olivia's, Kyle's, Ellie's. We wanted Leia Tasmin for a girls name but we never had any girls! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
