I bought a baby name book, it evaluates each name and gives it between 1 and 5 stars. It is very amusing, and we were having a blast looking up names. All four of our kids have 4 star names, so I was feeling pretty good about our choices (pat on back). I will share some of the reviews and of course I will try to do some of your names:)
JENNIFER* * * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Jennifer is seen as ready to take on any challenge.
CONSIDER THIS: Look at all of Jennifer's famous namesakes to see how popular this name has been over the years. It's still a Top 100 name, though it's starting to slip.
JILL * * * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Jill is viewed as always smiling and sweet.
CONSIDER THIS: Jill is a short form of Jillian, but it seems to stand on its own all right.
JULIE * * * * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Julie is considered to be approachable, empathetic, and loyal.
CONSIDER THIS: Julie isn't nearly as popular as Julia, but people think Julie's image is just as likable.
MEGAN * * * * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Megan is imagined to be a kind and caring woman with a pretty smile and pretty completion.
CONSIDER THIS: A top 20 name in the '90s, Megan is experiencing a slight drop in popularity this decade.
REBECCA * * * * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Folks say Rebecca has a great personality and great looks.
CONSIDER THIS: Talk about timeless: Rebecca has been in the Top 100 since 1940 and in the Top 200 since 1890.
STACEY * *
FIRST IMPRESSION: Stacey has two images straight from a typical junior high school setting: She's either a klutzy nerd or a boy-crazy airhead.
CONSIDER THIS: Both Stacey and Stacy have image problems, but for whatever reason, Stacey is associated with adolescent stereotypes.
What can I say?!? I am soo totally excited to see Edward in Twilight, he is sooo dreamy. I hope that I don't trip on my shoelaces, that would be totally lame. I wish that I had glow in the dark elastics on my braces, we (Me and Edward) could make out and he could see to pick the popcorn out of my teeth.

Oh my gosh! I am soooo excited to see Twilight. Unfortunatley, I have to wait till I get to my Grandmas this weekend to go see it with my Aunt and Cousins too. Isabel and I read through these soo quick because we were so anxious to read the next one. I love Edward! He-He
hmmm smiley and sweet huh? Maybe you should ask my husband about that one......
so funny! that book seems pretty critical of your name. the author must have had a bad experience with a stacy... hope you all are well! happy thanksgiving. hopefully we can all get together around Christmas. no, really this time!!!
Ok I will give you some suggestions for girl names that i loved but could not get Jay to go for. I love the name Ava. So simple yet so classy. Also i love the name Aspen-kinds earthy sounding but original. Bailey is another favorite. I could go on and on but those are my top 3. Good luck babe and keep me posted.
