A name doesn't really matter that much. Don't call you kid something stupid and he/she will be alright.

When our kids were born, We just picked names that we liked that sounded nice and went well with our surname. I could care less if it is "boring"...I have a very unusual name myself (never met another person with my name) and while I like it, I don't think it really has anything to do w who I am and I'd be fine w just having a boring name instead too. Anyway, I agree that a lot of these names aren't so interesting but I didn't ever think of that as a criteria when picking names for my kids.

My DS's name is on there. Not my DD's. I'm definitely a yuppie.

If you think earning more money or spending more on brand names makes class, then you are classless. People concerned about class and status are classless in my opinion. It's such a shallow thing to be concerned about. I think it's people with a very narrow world view that care about this or make it a priority.

Being polite, having good manners, being open minded, and striving for a good education, living within your means, and trying to live a good honest life is what makes class in my opinion.

Aiden is white and yuppy today, but give it a couple of years and all of those names will be popular at the lower income / minority level.

:Clutches pearls: You mean a brown person might share my DD's name? Dear God, what will I do?

I like you
