I thought Liam was a British name. Never met an American Liam.

Can you imagine getting a resume from Kale or Kiwi? Into the trash can it goes. Delete!

I would not automatically delete a "Basil," however.

Madyson and Kayleigh will be reading resumes those days, R3, so they probably won't care nearly as much.

I knew a frau who had a daughter named Rosemary. Then she had a good thyme and had sons Sage, Cumin, and Tarragon. Then came daughters Cinnamon, Basil, and Cardamom. Now she just welcomed her granddaughter little Paprika and grandson Saffron.

The name Jackson needs to go away.

It’s agree, Jackson is truely terrible r18. What’s wrong with just naming a baby Jack? Do people realise Jackson is a surname and Jack is not the diminutive of that surname? Jack was once the nickname for boys named John. Now Jack is a name on its on right. Jackson on the other hand is awful.

I don't mind Jackson. Love Jack, but yeah, in most cases, nickname for John.

Lentil could be a cool boy name. Berry or Apple for a girl. Radish or Brie could be a good name.
For herbs and spices, Ginger, Basil, Sage, Dill, Fennel, Rosemary, Thyme, Saffron, Cayenne, Currie, Lavender all are cool names.

"Clementine" is not a food name, it's been around forever, as in, "Continental Clementine, Oh my darlin'!"
I was at a party years ago and some wit said, "I can't wait till people start naming their babies AMBIEN!"
Has anyone met an Ambien in the world?

Liam is short for Uilliam which is Irish. The English version is William.
Liam only reached #10 in popularity in the UK and that was in 1996. Both William and Henry's revival was due to the royal children at the time. In America Liam entered the top ten boy names in 2012 at #6 and has been climbing ever since.

[quote] Never met an American Liam
Met my first Liam in the 80s - the son of my sister’s next door neighbor. My sister’s oldest son became friends with him and a few years later I heard my neighbor calling her son, his friend and my nephew out the back door. “Liam, Kieran, Francois! Time to come out of the pool.”
I turned to my mother and said, “Remember when boys were named Jimmy, Johnny and Billy?”
