Zoe: The Jennifer of the next generation. It's a shame because we really liked the name Zoe, it's a great name, but no fewer than four Zoes have been born to people I know in the last year alone and two in the past month. Two Zoes belong to classmates from my undergrad creative writing program; one Zoe belongs to my favorite high school boyfriend/buddy; and the last one (a Zoey) was born just yesterday to a classmate from my graduate creative writing program. Sheesh.
F's best friend and his wife had a baby girl a few weeks ago and named her Isla Janet. Now that's a good unique name. You don't meet a lot of Islas.
F and I have a boy name and a girl name picked out. We are not telling them to anyone, but the girl name is neither Zoe nor Jennifer. You would not guess it if you guessed a long long while. I did, however, tell the names to the nice old lady who sat next to me on the plane to Phoenix last week, seeing as I'll never see her again, and she did her duty and said she loved both names, so there's that.
