[quote=Anonymous]Interesting that possible regrets come largely from kids ending up with a more-common-than-expected name and fewer from people who regret a more unusual or "ethnic" name even if it's mispronounced. I guess I can see why. I am in the latter category and have no regrets, though I've been a tiny bit surprised to have met a handful of kids now with my DD's nickname. (It's one of those names that could be either a name or nickname.) It's kind of a classic name found in a bunch of diverse ethnicities... but not terribly common recently (or until recently?) It's fine, though, and her actual first name is exceedingly rare and ethnically specific. At most there's evidence that a few people have ever used it as a first name. So we kind of get a little of both-- no one has her name but her nickname is universally recognized and pronounceable. [/quote]
