Back in the '90s, all of my friends were named Emily, Michael, Nicole, or Daniel — and those were just some of the names of the decade that required kids to go by their first name and last initial (or, when there were two Matt L.s, a feature — "Matt L. with the blond hair"). Now, though, more and more parents are giving their kids unique names [1] — take Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, who recently welcomed a daughter named Kaavia James [2].
