I think Wesley is a rather popular southern name, and also popular for heroes who fashion themselves The Dread Pirate Roberts.
My grandmother (Ann - remember?) had three siblings: Kathleen, Virginia and Joseph.
Virginia's daughter (my first cousin once removed? I think that's right) has one of my favorite girl names: Georgiana (though it's pronounced "Georgina"). There's a girl in my son's class called Georgia, which I also like. I would have guessed that Georgia is becoming more popular (although I don't think I can think of another kid called Georgia in the younger set nowadays), but Ruby is a surprise.

Wesley to me is now gay, gay, gay. Gay as cheese even. That's just because I think of Wesley from
Boy Meets Boy and his sexuality was never a question to me. I was as sure he was gay as Paigow was that he had a bad nosejob. I'm just sad that ultimately he and James didn't make a love connection. Sigh.
Confidential to RT: I also think of Wesley Crusher a bit when I hear Wesley (and thanks to you, I believe, Wil Wheaton's blog is now on my favorites list), but I'm trying to keep my nerd quotiant down here this week, so keep this on the dl for me. Word.
