[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Why is this so important to those of you who are so worked up about this? [/b]It would be one thing if you thought a child would be teased about or [b]unhappy because of a popular name, [/b]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]

Question and answer bolded. We’ve been through it and have empathy for those kids. Regarding the ones who don’t mind, good for them, but many of us hate it. BTW, my name is beautiful.[/quote]

I'm so sorry for the difficulty you have faced with your beautiful name, lovingly chosen by your well-meaning parents. I can see why you want to prevent this from happening to others.[/quote]

Ok, that was funny! It wasn’t lovingly chosen though, and the issue is obviously not it’s beauty.[/quote]
