Surprised to see Olivia so high- that is my grandma's middle name, and I've always thought it sounded elegant and beautiful. Interesting how some names go in cycles every few generations. I also like Jack too. Simple, old school.
And when are parents going to stop naming their sons Matthew. Must be in the top 10 every year. Same thing with Madison for the past 10 years or so for girl's names.
In the local paper here they have a feature at the end of the year that lists all the babies born at the city hospital. It's quite something to go over the list of names and pick out all the crazy spellings and name-combo's people come up with these days.
Anyways, when I have my first boy I am going to push hard for Addison. I had a teacher in high school with that name, and he was a great guy. Taught me a lot about life and being a stand-up man. Not only that, but I think it's another one of those distinguished, old-school sounding names that is still somewhat unique.
