Don't know how I feel about Johnas. Like they couldn't decide between John and Jonas. Not sure I like it.Lorelei is cute! Nice to see it. (Though I'm partial to the Gilmore Girls' spelling, Lorelai.)Hunter Desmond & Estella Sophia are wonderful names! (I assume Dinnigan honors someone. In comparison, David seems like a placeholder.)At first I thought that said Bob Finley, and I thought, "What lovely genre-mixing!" I don't know what the heck "Boh" is - they should've stuck with Bo.Kaizen, while interesting, seems just a *tad* pretentious if they essentially named their child after a philosophy. It does go nicely with Rose, though.Bo Elizabeth is cute. A little country-bumpkin, but still usable.When I here Capri, I think about three things: 1. The island; 2. Cut-off pants; and 3. Capri Sun coolers. It just doesn't seem like a person's name to me. (Inez is cool, though, and they sort of work as sisters.)Layken - blech. "Lay Ken." Blech!I'm guessing Koa is something ethnic? Don't know anything about it.If Max is short for Maxine, then I like Maxine Alice. But if her name is just Max... that's too masculine.

Dinnigan is her mother’s last name, I assume her parents were not married and she has a double last name Dinnigan Wilkins. I found this on Koa:
This unisex name has several different origins. There is a Hawaiian male name Koa meaning “strong, brave, fearless”, and it’s also the name of a Hawaiian tree, the Acacia koa. The wood was traditionally used to make dug-out canoes and certain types of surfboards. In Maori, the word koa means “happiness”. In the Kaurna language of South Australia, the word koa means “crow”, and the Koa people come from south-east Queensland, so it’s also a tribal name. There has been a sudden proliferation of this name in Australian birth notices, and that might be because Tom Dumont from No Doubt welcomed a son named Koa last year. However, I am beginning to see far more girls named Koa in birth notices than boys. This may be because of model and actress Koa Whelan, a contestant on this year’s dating show, Please Marry My Boy. I think this works equally well for boys and girls, although the first meaning is male only.It’s just Max, not Maxine.

Why oh why is Max becoming a trend on girls? Is any boy name safe? Ugh.

Eek! Bo and Max for girls? Some people are crazy! I would never name a child any of those names.

Heh, the only name I recognise is that of Ada Nicodemou - I remember her from "Heartbreak High"! :D Nice to see that she has become a mother, but I am not a fan of the name that she gave her son. Johnas Xipolitas rhymes far too much! I hope that they will call him John instead.
