[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think giving your child a popular name is 1000x better than giving them a wacky name or a name with a stupid spelling just to be more "unique." OK, so there are a lot of Alexanders. Better than being cute and spelling it Alliksandyr, or that you should instead name him Sauron or Zermatt or Balthazar. Just go for it, OP. [/quote]

There is an ocean of possibilities between trendy names and unique (weird) names.  Names like Laura, Blythe, Melanie, Belinda, Jean, etc.

Just not another Ella or Sophia, please!  [/quote]

I think Ella and Sophia are prettier names than most of the others you listed though. I’d rather be named Ella than Jean or Blythe even if there were 5 others in my class/office etc. I do like Laura though.[/quote]

Not the point.  Jesus... There are thousands of names outside the top 30 is the point. [/quote]

When you list a bunch of (IMO) ugly names to try and illustrate your point about how there are a lot of good names outside the top 30, it doesn’t work that well. If you had listed names outside the top 30 that were prettier names than Blythe and Jean and Belinda I could’ve agreed much more. Names are subjective but the popular names tend to be popular because more people find them beautiful. Most everyone would agree Ella is a prettier name than Blythe. Sorry.[/quote]
