The Baby Diaries: Baby Boy Names

I've had a baby name list going since I was about 13 years old. The other day I found one of my old plaid covered journals with some of my favorite names listed in it and I couldn't help but laugh, but also think, I was a pretty forward thinking adolescent since some of the names gained popularity again over the years. I've always preferred names that are preppy, traditional, a little offbeat, a little Brit inspired, and definitely unique, but in a completely NON-TRENDY way. Here are some of my favorites from the past and some I have added over the years.
