Thanks. I can understand what you were saying! I can see you like my name and my son's name! I will pick two names to tell my sister!
If it's a boy then I picked: Justin and Kyle. For girls: Jennifer and Christine.

NO. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is named Jennifer.Jennifer is too common. Name lists are far too jennified. We must cease this jennification!How about Kasumi? At least it's easy to spell.....Aha! Wanda. That is easy to spell, not too common...

I agree "Jennifer" (my wife's name) is far too common. And name lists (by popularity) only intensify this commonness."Kasumi" (unless it means "dog turd" or something similar) is fine, but within a week of its acceptance in the US there'd be 11 spellings ("Kesoomie", etc.) just like "Brittany" and its variants.As for "Wanda", it's fine if you're of Polish extraction, but in the US it's often a "trailer park" name ("Tammy"'s mother or sister). It doesn't get much use outside these two circumstances.
