When it comes to naming a baby, some parents lean more towards traditional names, while others opt for something a little more unusual. One teacher has noticed a trend in her classroom in recent years - claiming more parents than ever have been picking out "unique" names for their little ones.
But while she appreciates hearing a variety of names every day, she admits some of them have made her "cringe" when she saw them on her register. Speaking about this year's students, the Texan teacher said: "These are my third grade students this year. Girls: Alani, Alaya, Malaya, Milaina, Zalia, Yaretzi, Genevie, Jordan, Steffany, Camila, Haydee. Boys: Ayden, Aiden, Jaiden, Cruz, Major, Valentin, Leonidas, Johnny, Elias, Ivan."
