names overheard at the mall...

Yesterday I was at a mall (Palisades Center in Rockland County NY) and I
heard lots of parents talking to their children. During the course of the
day I heard three unusual boys names that I had never heard as first names
before, and I thought I'd throw them out to the group. All of them are
from the surnames as first names trend.

First little boy, about age 4. His name was Callahan.

Second and third boys were brothers. There was also a third brother in a
stroller, whose name I never heard (though I was quite interested in
hearing what it might be). These two boys were about age 7 or 8 and maybe
10. Their names were Wilder and Walker.

SOme of you thinking of names might like some of these ideas.

Those are all interesting names! I like last name as first name names. We
considered Smith for our baby, but DH finally decided he didn't like it
after all. I still like it :-)

Interesting. There is a 4yo girl in Matthew's gymnastics class named
Callahan.

My husband was hanging out with the kids at the mall in the play area,
and he overheard the name Phineas. I think he was called, Phin, also.
I thought that was definitiely interesting! My husband has a cousin
whose son is named Dalyn. I haven't heard that one much.

Phineas is on our short list. It is a name from ancient greece.
Phineas is also a character in the book "A Separate Peace."

Gannon. The brother of another girl in the class is Talon.
