[quote=Anonymous]Don't want to debate names, but want to understand the hyper-critical attitude some folks come to baby names. Stuff I've heard/seen lately? "Fiona? People will make fun of her for being Shrek's wife." "Charlotte? Way too popular, she'll be one of 10 in her grade." "Victoria? People will call her Vicky, which is awful." "Jessica? It just sounds so 80s." "Daphne? That's kind of pretentious, don't you think?" I could actually go on. I picked a series of names that I personally think are nice and would not even make me blink if someone I knew named their baby that, so it's odd to me to hear such negative things about them. What is the mentality that criticizes names like this? I get if it's not a name you would personally choose, or if you have a specific, negative connotation with a name. But why knock an otherwise perfectly good name down in this way? I don't get it.[/quote]
