[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- I literally wanted to do this also 12 years ago when I found out I was having a girl.  I really, really wanted to.  I loved the name and what it said about my future child.

I'm so glad I didn't though because my actual child is so not "Moxie" to the outside world that she might have been made fun of if given that name.  She observes the world first before joining in.  As a small child she was hesitant and shy.  Having that name would have drawn more attention to her in an unpleasant way for her.  And it wouldn't have fit her.

You don't know how your child will be.

Anyway, it was so weird to read your post after I went through this same dilemma 12 years ago!  What a ride!  Good luck![/quote]

Somebody should pin this.  I feel like pregnant people always want to come up with these really unique names so their kid doesn’t seem ordinary.  But you don’t really know what your kid’s personality will be, and also your kid WILL. be special and unique in their own name, even with the most plain Jane name.  (See, for example, Jane Lynch—would anyone call her basic?  No.  She OWNS that name.). I feel lke a baby’s name should be like a basic black dress—she’ll be wearing it every day for the rest of her life so you want it to be something she can make her own as she grows into it.

So lame. I have a #1 name from the year I was born and I can’t stand it. It’s a basic b name and I don’t own it because everyone else is named the same. Wish my mom had named me something more unique or had been even the least bit creative. There’s nothing to grow into because it’s a lame, common name. [/quote]

If you are lame and basic it's not because of your name.[/quote]

You’re functionally illiterate.[/quote]
