Gemma - hmm I wonder who that is. *wink*

P.S. It's pronounced as a beautiful gemstone, and that's what it means.

how about Jaques - pronounces Ja -quez

Ha! I've only seen that as a last name - well, Jacques, but close - and it was pronounced like "Jakes."

Ross is one of my favorite names ever... probably because it's my uncle's name and he's the coolest guy I know.

I've only seen that as a last name. Well, Jacques, but close. Can't really choose your last name...

Sure you can. There's no law (just a tradition) that says you have to give your children the same last name as the parents.

A friend of mine has the last name Woodc0ck, but his kids last name is Woods. He didn't want them to get teased like he was as a child.

At my Grandmother's funeral some of our older relatives brought us the Sessions family tree and Ross was a recurrent name. I liked the name as well as it's connection to our family history. So many Ross Van Sessions' in our like. lol

Since when is Connor a hipster name? I know a guy in his 40's named Connor.

I really like names typically used for the opposite gender. Like Shannon for a boy or Ashton for a girl. My husband isn't a huge fan of that, so we probably won't do that with our kids.

Like I said, I don't have kids, but here are some names of kids in my husband and my families...

Jessica
Braxton
Abigail
Lila
Mariah
Destiny
Hunter
Jordan
Dustin
Caydence
Sabastien (yes, spelled like that)
Kholton (yes, spelled like that)
Madelynn (same mom as the previous two)
Joshua
Brandon
Ashley
Tiffany
Kevin
Kayla
Savannah
David

...all but one of those are kids in my husband's family. Kids running around over there like roaches. Hasn't anyone ever heard of a condom? Ugh, southerners.

Judgemental, much? How awesome for you to assume that all/most of those children were accidents.

Some people just like children and big families, what's it to you? Live and let live, Isn't that what everyone is trying to cram down everyone else's throats, these days?

Kenneth James
Rebecca Anna-Leigh
Mary-Elizabeth Ashley
Meghan Kathleen
Bradley Scott
Scott Allen
William Earl
James Don
Daniel Earl
Chris Tyler (oh wait that Christler)

I went to school with a guy whose name was Chris Topher, as in first name Chris and last name Topher. I always enjoyed it.

See, now that's clever, funny, and acceptable in my book. lol

My husband and I had set baby name rules. No last names for first names, no gender ambiguous names, and no weird spellings. Names also have to look good on a job application.

I mean, naming a baby Kyleigh when she's two years old is cute, but I would have trouble taking that person seriously when they are 30.

Oh, and don't name your son something that ends in "son" or "ton." That goes along with the last name rule, but I swear I have friends that have all named their sons Braxton, Carson, Coleton, and Preston. All it does is make you kid sound like they go to prep school.

Katniss, Hazel, Khaleesi, and Elsa for girls
Peeta, Gus, Jon, and Hans for boys.

I like new age names that white people trying to be trendy are coming up with...

(none of yours OP are such names, just saying).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love the name Gemma.

I've always been a huge "names person" mainly because of writing. Some of my favorites:

Male - Seth, Todd, Micah, Karl, Julian

Female - Gwendolyn, Claudia, Meredith, Jill, Gillian, Berit, Inger

I don't think prep school with those at all. I mean...yeah they are horrid. But I have more of a low rent association.

Lately, I've been digging the name Skylar (girl). I like the name Amber too.
Stephen or Christopher is nice too. (boy)

As someone who was named after a grandmother and great grandmother, I go by an off the wall high school nickname(at 27 still using this name-Josie) Don't do that to your child... Give them at least one name that is their own! I may have went too far with my daughter, but her name is definitely her own..

Senteria Rose
Sin tear(like cry) E uh
Hard to write phonetically, spoken it has an almost Hispanic tone.

Other names that we had choosen were
Jodie Lynn
Cameron Eric(which is a family name and I will fervently try to change at least one of these names if we have a boy)

dispatcher939

My son's name is Avery
My Great Grandfather's name was Pink Chester

We also have an Odie in the family ( it was from a long time ago but still funny)

I dispatched for 911 so I have heard some great names. Here are some that I can remember of the top of my head
Orangejello and Lemonjello
Lon Dong
We Wei
Christopher Hammer Long
Chasity Belt

Really? I always imagined kids with names like have full names like Winston Scott McKenzie the third, or and their daddies set them up with a trust fund. Couple that with the fact that all these moms I know that name their kids that are from rural America and it's twice as silly to me. Hehe.
