William is an eternally popular name, I've found. Same thing happened with Jacob (my first born). Had 3 Jacobs on one baseball team one year.
Our youngest son is Will, short for William, which is a nod to my dad, Bill, whose name is really Billie, and who has 2 GIRLS named for him.

Turns out William ended up being really popular, think it was Lady Diana naming her son that? When he was in 2 year old church preschool in a class for 12 kids, there were 3 Williams. They had to call them each by full first and last names.

My husband and I like Cadence as well. It is actually a very pretty name.

Urethra Champayne- tried to convince the mom that she had the spelling wrong but she insisted that was how you spell Aretha (as in Aretha Franklin). Ugh!
Ta-Rod and Ta-Ron-twin boys
Kilo-yeah his dad was a dealer. Kid's original name was Kevin but when he finally weighed a kilo they changed it. Poor little guy probably has no future that doesn't involve prison.
And my favorite...K'Ah'Janae A'journae (kay ah zhanay ah zhournay) is the unfortunate moniker a young friend of mine unleashed on her poor innocent babe. I called her "Kelly" instead.
As far as previous posts "Ceilidgh" is Scottish Gaelic for "party" so kind of cool just impossible to spell. "Aran" is the name of a Scottish island.
And finally "Female" "Lemonjello" "Orangello" "Clamydia" and "Placenta" are urban myths frequently passed along by nurses who work in OB and Peds. I can't say for certain that they have NEVER been used but the frequency that they come up in odd name lists is not reflective of how often they are actuallly used. It does make a good story though!
