Hating the fact that my name #12 on the list of baby names from the year of my birth, and that it was frequently mistaken for Jason (God only knows why...), the number #2 name on the list for that year, I decided to name my son a simple, Scottish, original yet pronounceable, Biblical name of "Ian" and I've been pretty happy with that... so far I've encountered 1 other "Ian" his age, amongst the seemingly countless Ethans, Aidens, Jaydens, Calebs, etc (the top 4 names for the year of his birth).

Thankfully we didn't have a girl, my wife was dead set on Isabel, which happens to be the #7 name on the list for that year. Of all the people we know who were pregnant at the same time, 4 of the 6 or so we knew had daughters and named all 4 Isabel (or Isabella).
