Now there's a name you don't hear too often anymore--people just don't name their kids names like Chester or Marvin. It's all "Jaden" and "Dylan" and "Dakota." 'Cause they want to be 'unique.' Right.
Don't even GET me started! The idea that "Madison" is one of the most-popular names for girls is utterly astounding.
Why not!? Go ahead and get started! The first little girl I saw named Madison was about 2 in 1991 (daughter of a co-worker), so she'd be maybe 20 now. I bet when she was younger she thought her name was so unique (justifiably), and now she must scratch her head just as much as Mike.
And now it's come full circle. My little boys have known a couple of Madisons, and so when they learned what the capital of Wisconsin was, they thought *that* was silly, a city with a girl's name.
