I worked at the infamous Central Falls High School for many years and a lot of the names were different. We had a boy whose first name was Junior, a Princess, Jerifer, Nevaeh which is heaven spelled backwards. Genesis, Xiomara, Beberly, and Milady. My DGD's name is Delilah. My DD's names are Felicia and Merri-Ellen.

In seventy two years I have never met anyone with my name--Ione--(I own). And do not ask me what I own because I would probably scream, after 12 years of hearing it in school. I have met many Iona"s , I was named after my great grandmother who"s last name was Drinkwater.

There is another Yolanda on the Board who was named after the 1930s 40s dancing star with a partner by the name of Yolanda and Valez.

You don't here any of those very often.
Although I knew 2 other Phyllis' when I was growing up - both older than me.
Then just a year ago met a 9 year old named Phyllis. She looked at me and said she didn't like her name because it was an 'Old person's name"! her mother scolded her for her comment. lol
I've never liked my name either, but could never figure out what to change it to.
