My mother, never one to miss an opportunity to dash her daughter's dreams, told me Jewish people don't use those names.

I still love Kristin and Timothy, though my adoration for Kristina has waned.

I watched some mermaid movie as a young kid where there was a black haired and maybe black mermaid named Ebony. I thought it was the most beautiful name I had ever heard and it was my #1 as a child. I'm a blonde haired, Nicole Kidman white, blue eyed WASP so I got this lesson. Even if my child were biracial, "Ebony" would be pushing it.

Loooved Janine as a girl and named my doll Janine.

As a teenager, I thought Deanna was a lovely name. Now I'd never consider it - too country. DH loved Sadie, until I informed him how many pet dogs I knew with than name

Around 11-12 I thought I would name my daughters Cadence and Cadenza. Because I loved music sooo much. Wtf, they’re basically the same name!! And both are terrible.

I read a YA book series and the main character dreamed of naming her twin girls Denim and Lace, and I thought those were super cute names.

When I was very little I very earnestly promised my dad I would name my daughter Walterina, after him.

I used to really love Charlotte but now it’s so popular.

I know a little boy named Denham. It's actually kinda cute.

Well, that went over your head, Aimee.

I loved Shannon as a kid. Now it's not so great. Perfectly fine and I know a few great adult Shannons and a few supreme biotches. But it doesn't have the glamour I associated with it as a kid.

Awww, there are some nice names here! Janine, Brenna ... a little dated, but very pretty!

I remember I really liked Thea. I still think it's cool, but I think you have to be cool to pull it off.

From a book in middle school I thought Constance with the nn Con was so cool. In college I admired the name of someone named Valerie who's nn was Val. Then my cousin married a Valerie who is a a legit. idiot so thats all I think.

Funnily enough now that I am pregnant (late 30s) I still like longer names but would prefer to not shorten them with nicknames.
