[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this some kind of personality disorder? These people who are obsessed with the idea that every baby must get a unique, rare name? That if your child shares a name with other children it means you have ruined your child’s life. Although honestly, many of these comments aren’t even about the baby. It’s more like you’re all mad because OP and people like her have failed to entertain you or interest you with their name choices. Why is that important? If you don’t hear a novel baby name every day, you’re mad? I do not get it.

I can’t figure out another explanation for why there are 8 pages of comments berating OP for wanting to use one of two popular (and pretty!) baby names, when one of the first things OP said was “I know they are popular.”

Seriously, she knows. She doesn’t care— these are the names she likes. Do you honestly think she or her child would be better off if she picked some name that she didn’t feel connected to or didn’t like as well? Think this through. You are all being insane. Stop trying to shove your values onto someone who doesn’t share them, and maybe take a minute to ask yourself why “giving babies original names” is so important to you. I think a lot of you need therapy because this is honestly weird.[/quote]

People are just cautioning OP not to saddle her daughter with a fad name.  And that’s all Sophia and Charlotte are - names that are current fad. No is is saying name her something made up or unique - just not a name where there will be millions with her first name in her generation.
