[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there is plenty of room between common and unique

someone posted about veronica and vanessa - those names are in that inbetween.[/quote]

Yes there is but if you love a name that’s common you should go w it and not worry about trying to force yourself to love another, less common name just for the purpose of picking something less common…[/quote]

DP. Sure, F- the child!  :roll: [/quote]

Yet again, you are convinced that a common name is somehow tantamount to ruing your child's life. No matter how many people explain why that is not true.

I don't know if your kids are going to like their names when they are older and I'm not sure anyone can predict that, but I do sense that they are going to be in therapy over their super intense, hyper-critical, obsessive mom.[/quote]

Ok, narcissist.[/quote]

DP. But you really seem to not get that a lot of people are be fine w or actually desire to have common names and prefer that. (Have you been reading this thread?) and even if a kid winds up not liking having a common name of their parents picked their name w love and thought then it’s still not “f the child!” It’s just oh well that happens. But plenty of kids don’t mind or actually enjoy having a common name. So get over yourself w your weird hang up about not giving kids popular names.[/quote]

You’re missing the point.[/quote]

No, I don’t think I am. I’m just another poster who has an unusual name and would’ve LOVED to have a popular name. So I don’t understand how you think someone lovingly choosing a name they like for their baby is “f the child” just because that name is popular. [/quote]

Still missing the point. “I rather pick a name *I* love…”, “If *you* love the name, you should go with it…” is a “f- the child” ATTITUDE. I respect parents who gave their kids common names because they disliked having unusual ones, etc. I don’t think it was the best decision, but I respect them. The biggest problem is the ME, ME, ME attitude.[/quote]
