[quote=Anonymous]I think y'all are wrong about this, as evidenced by some of the comments in the thread so far. I think DCUM used to be lots of middle-aged prepsters, but it's shifted to lots of middle-aged hipsters.

The new quintessential DCUM name is something like Sabine Rose, or Juliet Claire. Something outside the top 100 or so on those popular name lists, vaguely pretentious, but still recognizable as a name. So many posters on here now are obsessed with the idea of giving their daughters (and yes, daughters, it's girl names that seem to drive this for some reason) the perfect, unique, no-one-else-has-it but everybody loves it, name. The most common criticisms of names on the site are: too ugly, too common, too trendy, too boring. So the goal is pretty, uncommon, unique, a little fanciful.

With boys I feel like the quintessential name is Theodore nn Theo or Teddy. I feel like I see it on here constantly and also hear it in the DMV (in lots of different communities and at lots of different SES levels) all the time. Plus in the last few years I've started hearing lots of Thea for a girl as well (maybe on its own or short for Dorothea or Theodora?). I don't get what it is about Theo/a but people around here are obsessed with it.[/quote]
