[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fallout from the Jessica / Jennifer / Justin generation [/quote] YES. I have one of these names and it was important to me my kid not have a top 20 name. I hated it when I was a kid and I still hate it. [b]Call my name in a crowd of parents and 5 moms will turn around.[/b] [/quote] The flip side of this is my name which is legitimately rare. In this day of online postings and internet searches it is hard to have such a rare name and keep one's privacy. If I posted something using my name all that know me will instantly know that it was I who posted that message. Sometimes that is limiting.[/quote] This. I am so easy to find online because I might be the only person in the country with my full name. I overcorrected and gave my kids super basic names. My son's is usually top 20, my daughter's is significantly less popular at the moment but still quite common over the years. [/quote]
