I don't get it. Outside of you and DH (and family) how will others associate your daughter's name with a "strong" and "inspirational" woman?

When I meet a girl named Maya I don't think "oh, her parents must have named her after Maya Angelou...how profound of them, they must be so intellectual", etc.

Do other people really matter? Could they maybe in fact just be wanting a strong name for their daughter because they will know where it came from? [/quote]

OP here. I don't think I really care if others associate our daughter's name with a strong or inspirational woman. I'm not planning to go around telling people all about the name all the time, either. I just like the idea of giving my daughter a name that is shared by smart, successful women.

Thank you to other PPs who shared the thread and the books!

Hey OP, I was the PP that asked why it mattered to anyone but you guys, I personally think that it would be strange if you WERE taking into consideration whether other people knew what her name meant. As long as you have your reasons, that's all that matters in my book.[/quote]
