You’re just so used to them, they sound familiar and fine. That’s not the same as “liking” them to most people. You’ve just accepted them like we accept other cultural mainstays. These names are dull. They may be safe. But they’re the equivalent of khakis and a navy blazer.

What clothing do you think people wear in law offices and country clubs?

I go to both, and not that. And the segment that does isn’t classic or was oh, just stuck shopping at BB because it’s easy. It’s very DC. That’s the point.

So people don't wear navy blazers and khakis at law firms and country clubs, except for the people who do, but they didn't mean to? Sorry you've lost the plot. It's ok to not like classic names but they're classic for a reason.

Classic to whom?

The millions and millions and millions and millions of people who chose them.
Sorry but Braxleigh just isn't my cup of tea! You do you girl!

Your logic doesn’t run here. Millions of people chose to buy Ford Taurus cars. That does not make them classic cars. Sorry. It makes them cheap and common.

Also, as a heads up.
Not everyone is a white anglo Saxon khaki pants lover. The world is a bit more diverse than that. They’re classic to a subset of people. And not all of these names, at all. Elizabeth and Katherine, okay. They’re played out but sure, classic.

You seem really worked up over this. If you don't like the name Alexander just don't name your kid that. Personally I don't care what you name your kid! But to paint everyone who picks one of these names as some sort of boring, basic turnip is just ridiculous. Why? Because again, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people pick these names. Making them probably the most diverse names out there!

How can they be classic to a subset of people and also ubiquitous, your other complaint? Either they are niche and only appealing to WASPs or they are dull because they are cultural mainstays. Which is it?

Well, if you live in a waspy area, they’re the main names. That doesn’t make them the universally appreciated names.

Except that these names are top 10. In the whole country. In all of America, these are the most popular names. So that would make them pretty universally appreciated names. That's how...math works.

Alexander was the 10th most popular baby name in 2020. Do you think every single person in America who named their child Alexander is a WASP?

I work at a school in an area with actual diversity. 1/3 of those names on the list aren’t in my school at all, and of the ones that are, there is only one kids with those names. There are maybe 5 pairs of kids in the entire school who share the same name, if that.

The universe is a lot bigger than WASP America, ya know.

OMG. For the last time: when a name is in the top ten names that means that it appeals to many, many more people than "WASP America". Or you do think there are only two groups in this country: WASPS and the kids you teach? How many WASPS do you even think there are? Enough to account for all of the children of five of these top ten names? What planet are you on?

I like how you think there is nothing in between naming your child Catherine/Elizabeth/Henry and Braxleigh. You have a very odd worldview. I suspect you don't get out much.

The logic of your argument falls apart and you resort to ad hominem attacks. Sounds about right for Braxleigh's mom! Or whatever yuNiQue name you think is so much better than everyone else's!
And by the way, before you say it, my kids names haven't even been mentioned on this thread so my only dog in this race is sticking up for the top ten names that are just too pedestrian for you. GMAFB.

0.55% of boys in 2020 were named Alexander. not impossible

^^^and there's a LOT of names between those two names, where did I say there wasn't? Do you want me to list every name in existence in a reply?
