I wasn't brave enough for clover as a first name, but we considered it as a middle name for our second who was a happy surprise after many years of secondary infertility. I think it's adorable.

I dated a lennon in hs. He was a player, but cute.

I know some Zanes. I love Juniper. Love it. Even if it's trendy.

Other than that, there's no more than 2 of each name. Honestly a name that's popular isn't that bad. All those Henrys seem just fine to me.

These are kids age 6 and under though.


Trust me, as someone with a popular name, it sucks to be "Popularname Lastinitial" your whole life. Those Henrys are going to be "Henry C." "Henry K." "Henry S." until they die.


Really? I'm a 1980s Jessica and it never bothered me.

Their kids are Millie and Nolan after two bars where they met playing kickball. I also have friends that met in the Senate as staffers whose twin girls are Kennedy and Kerry for their bosses.

You're friend named their kid after Millie and Al's? lololol, that's terrible.
