I was late to Harry Potter, too. :) But that’s a nice point, Lola – anything Twilight is going to be big, ready or not!

Carol was truly unisex for a ling time before suddenly going girly. Part of the reason I dislike Carol.

My favorite of EmmyJo’s were Zelda (duh) and Mina, both of which I love passionately. The boys were tough because they’re almost all nicknames to me, But Gus, Rohan & Sol are most appealing. I completely skipped over Zev, which also works for me.
I know a Sian girl. it’s definitely Shan (or Sharn, because of a rhotic accent) I also know of a Sian boy, whose mother insists is pronounced sean. Must give the poor boy fits. :D

I liek Jasper but prefer Caspar for myself. I agree, Jasper’s poised to leapfrog. And in 10 years.. landslide as all those “Twilight” fans astart reproducing. I think Japer Warren is not only handsome but a fetching brother for William Huckleberry/Huck. Huck & Jasper have the same, gun-totin;’, gum chewin vibe for me! OTOH, Jett does nothing for me. It’s not awful but not great either.

I saw that article on Chinese names & the government. Made me laugh. I know they’re not us but how do you get what, 6 million people? to acquiesce? I’m almost dying to see how that comes out! :)

Nice round up, sorry I missed it yesterday. It was a crazy (good) for me!

Actually, I don’t know much about Carol’s origins, but to my ear, it has always skewed masculine. Am I imagining that – anyone?

Sian is pronounced Shan – I understand it is the Welsh equivalent of Jane, but I’ve never met anyone with the name. (And I suppose it is possible that my Sian is a he.)

As for Jasper, I do kind of love Jasper. But he’s probably up there with Archer for names that are likely to leapfrog up the charts.

How is Sian pronounced, exactly?
I’m not a fan of Jasper, but think Warren is right in the middle spot.
