I was looking for an unusual (but not too unusual) name for son, and settled on Kelson. It's used more often in Canada than here, but at the time ('95) I had never met one. Now of course, I know of three in my state.

It is also the name of a main character in a series of fantasy books, which probably explains things.

As I was also named after a fictional character-Wendy, It seemed appropriate.
My daughter is named Claire, a name which seems to re-surface around here every decade or so.
