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]

What would you propose then? Wait til the child is of sentient age and let them name themselves? I mean really. You have no way of knowing if a kid will like their name or not. The best a parent can do is pick a name they love and hope their kid loves it too.[/quote]

:roll: [/quote]

That’s your response? Obviously you have nothing valuable to contribute then if you can’t even answer the question. Any parent who names their child is inherently focused on their own preferences, you included. You think by choosing an unpopular name you’re thinking more of what your child will like than someone who chooses a popular name? That’s preposterous.[/quote]

I’m just tired of your selective amnesia.[/quote]

You just don’t have a good response. Got it. I don’t think you have any idea what you’re talking about to be honest. Selective amnesia doesn’t even make sense in the context of this conversation but ok.[/quote]

This is my last response to you.

Selective amnesia: tongue-in-cheek

The answer: read the thread again

You “got” nothing![/quote]

Another non-answer from you. That’s what people do when they don’t have a good response…oh well. Everyone should choose a name they love and hope their kids love it too. You have no way of knowing if your kid will prefer a popular name or not or if something else about their name will cause them to love/hate it for whatever reason.[/quote]
