I liked that article about the names, I read it earlier this week. I don't know if I'm ready to name my next child Agnes, though. Ha. (Of course, my name is Jessica. Age: 28-35.)
I chose Agnes off that list because of Despicable Me. I wouldn't be surprised if Margot, Agnes & Edith all have a resurgence, just because of that movie.
And those charts are way off for me and my sister. We're Karen & Lisa but we're not 45 yet. ;)
