Interesting I never see babies named William and Mary. It seems like everyone is naming boys - Jaden or Aiden and girls - Madison
Old fashioned names are coming back a lot for girls like - Ruth, Naomi, & Eleanor.
Just what I'm seeing in my circle of friends, family, colleagues, etc.

Is that GBMC or Hospital of the Apostles?

We thought about naming our second son Aidan, but back then it was quite uncommon. Now Andrew says he really likes that name and wishes we had chosen it for him. I've told him he can use it if and when he has a son.

Our little one was *thisclose* to being a William, but then a number of my friends named their sons that, so it's his middle name instead. So William didn't surprise me, but Mary did. I haven't met a baby Mary in a while.
