[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st grader, Sophie, has never had another Sophie in her class - including four years in daycare, kindergarten, and this year. So we haven't had to worry about the Sophie M. thing.[/quote] that's because you were ahead of the trend. If you named a baby Sophie now or within the past 2 years it would be a different story. I have a first grader (born 2005) named Henry. We've never another Henry in his class. But if I go to a playground anywhere in NW DC, I hear the name "Henry" called out a half dozen times to different children, all age 4 or[b] older.[/b] It's STRIKING how common it is. I wouldn't use it again if I was naming a child today although I don't really mind how popular it is because my son has never had to be "Henry X" and likely never will be. [/quote] Previous poster here again--my post should have read "age 4 or YOUNGER", not older[/quote]
