[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many schools last year just out the list online. Don't know why that would be hard to do for CM, LAMB, and other non-common lottery schools. Could follow up with a postcard too.[/quote]

I hated when the listed my kids name online like that.  [/quote]

Not me. There is also an accountability to it by making it public. Schools generally put the first name and last initial, along with the birthdate.[/quote]

My child has a very unique name, first name last initial will identify her.  [/quote]

Yes, why does it bother you so much?[/quote]

I wish I was so naive as to have to ask this question. You must live in a pretty, pretty world. [/quote]

Please, do enlighten those of us in our "pretty pretty world", what is the problem with having a child with a unique name have their first name and last initial listed?  I have such a child, never met another yet with her name (although it's in a baby name book so someone has heard it before!), and been on publicly listed waitlists twice.  Zero problem.

What is the big bad problem that all of you in the "gritty gritty real world" see with this?  Concrete examples please, not silly "oh you're so naive but I can't think of an actual example so I'm just going to be condescending".[/quote]
