Honestly, I found it a fun challenge to find a name that wasn’t anywhere near the top of the list yet was a normal name that also had a nice meaning. I wasn’t shooting for below 1000, but it is where we landed.
Our girls have run across a couple others with their names, but it is an unusual experience, not an everyday one like it was for me. |
Yes, one could argue for their narcissism, but someone else’s name should still be primarily about the carrier. |

I’ve got a daughter with a name that is out of the top 1000. It’s not weird or made up. Teachers pronounce it correctly on the first try and no one bats an eye. It’s a family name but we’ve never met another little girl with it yet.
Son also has a family name. It’s currently in the high 300’s. Again very easy/ not made up weird or modern. Have met 2 kids with his name so far. The names are out there. You just have to look. |
| My own name's popularity peaked in the 1920s, and dropped out of the top 1000 in the 1990s. It's a normal name, and there are a few famous people who share it. I love it. |

You have to share then! I couldn't find the list so I guess I am basic and like names only in the top 1000 |
Number 7 in Sweden! |
And some people just say to their spouse I like this name and when they agree say "that's it" and never even LOOK at the rank! That's what we did. Twice. |

We all have our reasons for why we choose names
I mean, as long as you don’t complain after the fact “ I didn’t KNOW how popular it was!” |
That’s called “negligence”. It’s how I ended up with a top 10 name that still hunts me. |
I mean, that’s fine but not particularly relevant to the thread if you don’t share the names. |

I never realized how big of a slut I was until I tried to think of a boys name without...memories. |
My BFF and I both chose family boy names that are not in the top 1000. Both names of their grandpas. Not going to name them, so I don't out us. Both very easy, and memorable. Haven't ever run across anyone else who has them, though one person did tell me they knew someone by my son's name.
