[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don’t think it has anything to do with geography.[/b] I know some people who prefer classic names, trendy names, uncommon names, and everything in between. It doesn’t seem to vary by social class/socioeconomic status that much either. A lot of times parents who grew up either with super common names (or very uncommon names) didn’t love it, and go in the opposite direction. My DH is this way. He grew up with a very unusual first name and insisted on more common names for our own kids. His own name has grown on him over the years, but he gets tired of having to repeat himself, spell it out, etc. That said, he is almost 50yrs old and times have changed. [/quote] You dont think there's an aspect of DC culture marked by being snowflakey, competitive, fear of being basic?[/quote]
