I love learning things like this!
Choosing a name for your child is the most difficult thing to do.
It's always interesting to see the lists of the current top names for babies. Our new baby girl will be here in just a few weeks. I have given up asking what her name will be. They will call her Baby anyway, lol.

Coincidently, I got a video game last year in which the main characters (boy/girl twins) are called Ren and Rin. How interesting!
Interesting, popular names seem to go in cycles don't they.
