I guess we're trendy after all

I just discovered something distressing. Check out this list of "Hipster Names":
James doesn't know where the idea for Atticus came from, so maybe there's something in the air, some kind of hipster zeitgeist we can blame. Plus, since before we were married we've talked about naming a daughter Rosemary, which isn't on the list, but our nickname of choice is: Romy. How depressing is that? Who knew that Atticus and Romy were this generation's Ashley?

I've never been hip, and I have no desire to start now. I totally blame James for this.

Blame me? I wanted to name him Charlemagne.

Calm down, babe. It's not like we listen to Wilco . . .

Blast...Milo is on the list as well. I guess since we live in Austin we must be full fledged hipsters...

Well at least your kid's name isn't in the top ten names from social security records! We didn't know any kids named Hannah or Madeleine before we had our kids, but now we hear mothers calling those names everywhere we go.

D'artagnan was also a possibility...

And we do listen to the Hold Steady.

Charlemagne was growing on me, but D'artagnan was NOT a possibility!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with the name Ashley!
