If our new grandchild is a boy it will have one of the names in that list.
Only 4 weeks to go to find out what it is going to be...........(not due until the end of August though)

Kermit? for a child's name... no, no, no.
Ambrose - very old name, -- some of my ancestors named that.

That's gotta be an American list. Who outside the US would ever think of naming their son Burl.

Homer?
No.
That list is not from America.
I also know for sure William is always on the USA list.

I had a friend at one of my first jobs called Lucia and the c was pronounced as ch not an s sound. I loved her name but she called herself Lucy and so did everyone else. I would have insisted on her real name. She was Italian of course.
