[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]

Why does everyone need a unique name? It's okay for people to have the same name. If you like a name, you like a name. It's okay. Why is this so important to those of you who are so worked up about this? It would be one thing if you thought a child would be teased about or unhappy because of a popular name, but it really seems like it's about you. Who cares if you find these names boring? You don't have to use them.[/quote]
