[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I have a feeling you don't even know how stupid you sound.

You have no idea what "most of us" want.  I don't know anybody who deliberately chose a name because it was popular, in fact it is more likely they decide to name their kid a name they like despite it being popular.

Seems like you may also think that using phrases like "obscurity bestows novelty" makes you sound smart but trust me, it doesn't.[/quote]

Oh toots. I promise you I would lap you in an intellectual race. Maybe sit this one out.[/quote]

NP but I agree that most people want a somewhat unique name (though not a "made up" name).  This board is full of threads asking if Henry/Nora/Aiden/Sophie etc is overused.

In response to OP, I like Christina and I think you should go for it.  I associate it strongly with Christina Aguilera, but future generations won't.[/quote]
