There really are a bunch of little girls named Madison. I can't keep track anymore, but at least 3 girls from my graduating high school class have named their daughter thatWhat is with the obsession with the name Madison in recent years? It's butt ugly as a first name people get that through your heads and spare your children. Of course now it's being supplanted by the even worse variant Addison, which only makes me think of Addison's Disease, good job new parents of America.
My friend's baby turns one this week - he's a Mason. And his cousin is a Brianna.
Then there's all the cutsie names that drive me bonkers. Mackenzie, Mykayla, Skylar, which are just trendy now. Ugh. Don't parents understand that their adorable tots are going to grow up one day and need big-people names? I saw an example just the other day. A woman named Sparrow. Why?
My friend's cousin just had a baby a month ago and named him Mason. And his big sister is Mackenzie (they call her Mac for short too which drives me nuts ...no offense if that's anyone's nickname reading this ). And their cousin's name is Addison. Cute kids, but definitely not a fan of their names.
My parents like to claim they were trend setters . I never knew anyone else with my name (Alyssa) until ~7th or 8th grade. There definitely are more and more little girls with my name now. People aren't as confused by the spelling/pronunciation (and how I've gotten some strange variations ) anymore. I just have to make sure I don't say, "Hi, I'm Alyssa," because then they think it's Melissa
