[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What result? That you're going to run into another kid with the same name?  THE HORROR![/quote]

I think we all know why people like PP are worried about their kid having the same name as someone else in the class. They think they are just oh so special and their special unique snowflake has to have a special unique name, when the reality is they know they're so basic if they don't name their kid something like "Brixton" no one will pay attention to them.

This, 100%.

I also think it stems from this very deep seated insecurity about their own place in the world. They fear that they don't matter and they are determined to make their child matter, and it starts with giving them a name that NO ONE else will have. But they don't get that a lot of parents don't think that way at all, that we give our kids names that sound nice and make us feel good, and if they are common oh well. Our child will be special and important to us and that is what matters most. My child has a popular-sh name but she is my only child of that name, and my only child period, and the fact that there may be other kids out there with the same name doesn't even cross my mind when we are together. Nor does the fact that there are likely other children who have similar interests or similar senses of humor. There are billions of people on the planet. We all share lots in common. That doesn't mean we don't matter, it just means we aren't the only ones who matter.

Kudos to OP for not caring about this stuff and just picking a name she likes.[/quote]

Lol. Ok, desperate person.[/quote]
