I guess the kid doesn’t matter.  :roll: [/quote]

The kid will be fine. No child has been harmed by a popular name.[/quote]

I personally have always hated my name. It was popular and had no meaning to my parents. [/quote]

I’m still trying to change mine, but can’t find one that feels “real.”[/quote]

But kids who have super unique names express the same sentiment. [b]You can't predict how your child will feel about their name[/b].[/quote]

This. Go with the name you like. Popular generally may not mean popular in your immediate area.  I worried a bit about having a Jacob when it had been the most popular name for a long time but it was meaningful for me and we picked it anyway. And, there was only one other Jacob in the whole ES. DD's name is much less common according to the charts but there were two others in the school with the same name, so about the same popularity in her school as "Jacob". And, even if it is popular, they may like that. DD has friends with the same name and they like being "name twins".

Any particular kid may like or not like their name for various reasons. If you go with a popular name, maybe pick a less popular middle name (or vice versa) so then they have the option of using that. [/quote]
