[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not gen x-specific but a classic name that's been around forever. So much the better it's not popular now![/quote]

??? Why would someone want to give their child an unpopular name? Weird.[/quote]

NP. Why would someone want to give their child a popular name that so many others will have? Weird.[/quote]

Because most of us want our children to have a recognizable and popular name?

It’s not like a name is some precious commodity where obscurity bestows novelty and makes a child more unique or something. [/quote]

Interesting.  We deliberately excluded all of the popular names.  We chose common names that were less popular.  We did not want our kids having to deal with being one of 4 kids in the class with the same name and having to use a last initial to separate.  We even know two kids who have the same first name and same last initial so they have to use their full first and last name to avoid confusion in class.  A royal pain for everyone.  My kids are very glad that they are are not Sophia A, Daniel B, Olivia C, or James D.  We have run into a small handful of kids with their names over the years, but they love having more unique names.  It's not for novelty, but for convenience of not having to be confused with several other kids with the same name.[/quote]
