[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's FREAKY how we all try to pick an original name, and then end up inadvertantly picking the same name as everyone else. I know so many people who picked off-the-wall names for their kids, only to have them be super popular. Because we're so affected by our culture, [b]it seems the only way to ensure a unique name is to pick something really old-sounding to our generation (e.g., Mildred or Edna),[/b] something that sounds pretty mundane (e.g., Susie or Bob), or something that has become a casualty of our pop culture (e.g., Kermit or Miley).

Anyway, I think there are a lot of "--on" names floating around for boys (Mason, Sampson, Soren, etc.). A girl name that seems popular lately is Bailey. [/quote]

Actually, I think picking something old is how you get a popular name these days.  If you want unique, pick something popular in your own generation, like Jennifer, Susan, Angela, Christine.[/quote]

I agree with this...and add Kimberly, Carrie, Theresa, and Nicole as names I never hear for little girls these days.[/quote]
