My daughter's name is on here

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. We love the name, and my primary concern in choosing a name was that they'd be other girls in her class with the same name! Haven't met another one so far!

I'm a child of the 80s and there were 4 other girls in my year with the same name. I didn't like always having to be referred to with my last initial.

Why would anyone be hurt by this?

My name is on here! I assume pretty much with every name - some people will like it and others won't

There are just names that for either reasons of personal association or how they sound - someone doesn't like. That isn't a personal attack on you or your child.

It is like saying I don't like grey paint for living rooms and you have a grey living room. Different strokes.

No. Names are way more personal than paint. This thread is mean spirited.

Agreed. Much like the "unpopular opinion" threads, this is just a way to sh*t on other people's choices.

I always think of Simon and Oliver as wussy boy names too. Owen doesn’t seem wussy to me, but Spencer, Liam, and Elliott do. Someone suggested Oliver to me for DS#2 and I had to work to keep a neutral, non-cringe face.

Like Stacey, Leslie, Carol, ...?

Funny. I have a name like that. Love being called by my last name, and even when I moved away, and there wasn't someone else with my name in college, people called me by my first name and last initial. It's kinda cool.

DP-Different strokes and all that.

I tried to find names that were not in current rotation that everyone knew. My biggest joy was finding a name that wasn’t in the top 1000 names

There’s basically no men under the age of 80 with those names. Very uncommon now and not making a comeback for men anytime soon.
