I don’t understand why you would actively seek this.

Don’t most people want to give their child a popular name instead of an obscure or archaic one?

It’s not like a name is some precious commodity.[/quote]

No, not everyone wants to do what’s popular just because it’s popular. Some people actively seek popular, some people just don’t care, and some prefer unique. None are wrong, just different. And many of these names are known and familiar, just not currently on trend.

What you said.  Exactly!  Thank you[/quote]

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.[/quote]

That’s called “negligence”. It’s how I ended up with a top 10 name that still hunts me.[/quote]

poor baby.  I'm sorry but, it is not negligence not even a tiny bit.  My kids love their names and one of them is in the top 10.  You need more problems to worry about.[/quote]

Agreed. My DD's name is now Top 20 even though it was in the 200s or 300s when we named her. She LOVES that it's become more popular. One of her favorite things in the world is meeting a baby with her name -- for a while I think she thought it mean they were sisters. Maybe one day it will annoy her to have a more common name, but I hope she maintains her delight with it. It shows that she's comfortable in her own skin and feels valued for herself, not because she has a "special" name.[/quote]
