How snooty are these new-fangled baby names?
Tenley? Wasn't she on The Bachelor?
Harper? Did you name her in honor of Valerie Harper, or your momma who socked it to the Harper Valley PTA? (Update: Yes, Harper Lee...whose real name was Nelle.)
Castiel? Wasn't that Heaven Leigh's last name (Casteel) in the VC Andrews book?
Also, I fear that Tenley, Kinley, Tinsley and Kinsley are the new Aiden, Jayden, Brayden, Cayden and Peyton.

Oh, goodness. Castiel is the name of one of the characters on Supernatural. He's an angel. And...I have a distinct feeling that's why the name is trending.
Wow.
My baby girl's middle name is Harper, but it's after Harper Lee, author of my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird.
I agree with you on everything except Harper. I love that name! Come on, Harper Lee!
We met a kid a few years ago named Zaden and I was joking to my husband that they'd have to circle all the way back around to "Aaden." Then a new list of baby names came out, and what was on the list? Aaden. No kidding.
Haven't you ever heard of Harper Lee? It's not a new name.
Our alumni association president named his daughter Ainsley. I just don't understand.
'Sookie' made the list??? "No, sweetie. Instead of naming you after grandma, I decide to honor the torn-between-two-vampires telepathic barmaid."
As a teacher, I see all kinds of weird names. There's been Rogue, Blade, Snowflake, Hazard, Nacho, Gambit.
There are three toddlers on our block, Kinsley, a girl and Kelsen and Griffin, boys.
St. John?! I feel like I could mention my verification word (bagipin) and someone would think it would make a lovely name: "You can call him Pinny for short!" (Not Baggy, though. That would just be SILLY. :p)
Tenley Albright won an Olympic Gold Medal in figure skating in 1956.
