Jayden Isabella

If you had a baby And you live in New York City, Likely he’d be Jayden, Which would really be a pity. Eight hundred other newborns All were given that same name. Originality might not be Jayden’s claim to fame. For New York City baby girls, The top choice on the list Was Isabella, now that Ashley’s Somehow been dismissed. When parents agonize to pick A name they find unique, It really has to put a crimp In part of that mystique When, on the playground, they call Isabella! or shout Jayden! And fifty little toddlers All come saucily paradin’. I guess those parents might have gone With Enoch, Oona, Veer; Those monikers were at the bottom Of the list last year. To brand-new parents, though, whose babies’ Lives have just begun, Their Jayden or their Isabella Is the only one.

Very cute, I so think that parents nowadays lack originality in choosing baby names, already giving up their chils right to an individuality.
