I like both those names and agree they are a middle ground between super popular and super unique.

But I would also like to note that I know several children and adults with each of those names. Vanessa in particular must have been fairly popular in the late 70s/early 80s because I have a close friend, a sister in law, several former classmates, and two former coworkers with that name. And now also a neighborhood kid. It's a good name! But just goes to show that there are no guarantees.[/quote]

Most people aren’t trying to avoid anyone anywhere having the same name. Most trying to name a baby are just trying to avoid the 6 Alexander scenario above.

My oldest has a fairly unused name for the last couple decades. That said, it was the name of one of my best friends back home. It is a known name, just not currently in favor.

My little one has a name most here would call a “mom name” but we have run across a couple under 18. Again, not expecting to never meet any, just less chance of being in the same classroom with another.[/quote]
