Athletes' Trendy And Classic Baby Names
Professional athletes are just as much in the limelight as other celebrities, such as actors and musicians. Sometimes athletes choose traditional or common names -- other times they pick unusual, unique or trendy names to bestow on their little ones.
NFL star baby names
Quarterback Donovan McNabb and his wife, Roxy, have four children with more traditional names -- Alexis, Sariah, Donovan Jr. and Devin. Drew Brees has two boys named Baylen and Bowen. Both of these names are very unique and caused a stir when they were announced. Peyton Manning and his wife have a set of boy/girl twins named Marshall and Mosley. The boy, Marshall, has a more traditional name, but Mosley's name is quirky and unique.
Brett Favre has two daughters named Brittany and Breleigh -- a traditional name as well as one that uses trendy unique spelling.
