Hyacinth

It was announced today that a co-worker and his wife just had a baby girl and decided to name her "Hyacinth". Now, I'm all for any name that's not "Riley" or "MacKenzie", but it seems a little odd. Where did all you parents have that one on your baby name list? (When I asked that same question to my friend Eric, I received the funny reply of the day: "It was 75,276, right after [insert name of hated former Coon Rapids employee].")

Cough cough, my wife, cough, kinda likes the name Riley...I mean, not that we're having a baby...well, at least not a girl.

I take it many people are naming their children in Coon Rapids, "Riley" or "MacKenzie"?

I've heard those, plus "Brooklynn", quite a bit lately. It's not a subject I spend much time thinking about, but I get annoyed by many of the trendy names. I prefer classic or unique (but not stupid). Nathan? Solid. Aidan? Lame. Wade? Cool.
