The names made me yawn, so boring. I think though is because I have a lot of international diverse friends with a wide range of names. Nothing is more boring than Jessica or names like that... so safe and common. Not that you have to name your kid something crazy but idk i found these vanilla names kinda ho hum.

Aiden is white and yuppy today, but give it a couple of years and all of those names will be popular at the lower income / minority level.


:Clutches pearls: You mean a brown person might share my DD's name? Dear God, what will I do?


I like you

If you think earning more money or spending more on brand names makes class, then you are classless. People concerned about class and status are classless in my opinion. It's such a shallow thing to be concerned about. I think it's people with a very narrow world view that care about this or make it a priority.

Being polite, having good manners, being open minded, and striving for a good education, living within your means, and trying to live a good honest life is what makes class in my opinion.

My DS's name is on there. Not my DD's. I'm definitely a yuppie.

When our kids were born, We just picked names that we liked that sounded nice and went well with our surname. I could care less if it is "boring"...I have a very unusual name myself (never met another person with my name) and while I like it, I don't think it really has anything to do w who I am and I'd be fine w just having a boring name instead too. Anyway, I agree that a lot of these names aren't so interesting but I didn't ever think of that as a criteria when picking names for my kids.

A name doesn't really matter that much. Don't call you kid something stupid and he/she will be alright.
