Do you care?

Question

Do you look up how popular the name is before considering it?? I do...it bothers me to give my daughter a super popular name.

Answer

Yes but thankfully most of the current popular names I find to be awful. 😬

Answer

Yes,  I wouldn't want my child to be one of five in his/her class.  It would be really annoying to be Ava E. or Owen E.

Answer

We didn’t even consider any names in the top 100. But we also tend to hate trendy names anyway

Answer

I do look it up, and I kind of care.  I had a popular name growing up.  However, I never really felt as if my name wasn't special.  I was named after family members and so I knew it wasn't just because it was trendy.  I think the popular name thing is really only a problem if you have no other reason for picking the name other than it sounds nice.  If there is a story behind the name selection I don't think the kid will really care that there are other kids with that name too.

Answer

I have looked at that in the past but didn’t really care plus most of the top most popular names I tend to hate. I’m picky. XD

Answer

Somewhat. Both our daughters have names in the top 100 and our boy pick is currently in the top 10. It just turned out that those were the names hubby and I could agree on. I'd prefer something a little less popular, but I do love the names we picked so I don't worry too much. So far I haven't met a little Alice or Clara so I'm happy!

Answer

I work at a high school with a fairly huge amount of students. You can tell which names are popular or unique. My husband really wanted to name our son Jayden, Jalen or Jayce. Like every other boy on campus. 🙄 We settled for a classic name that wasn’t too popular.

Answer

I've always tried to avoid the more popular names.  Though named one of my daughters "Alexa" and there are a lot of those or similar like Alexis, alexia, or boys named alex that we run into,  but it's ok

Answer

All the names on our list is old Norse and there is less than 1000people with the same name (only correct spelling). So yes I really care.

Answer

Yeah I don’t want my kid to have to go by their last initial. I’m also hesitant because I’m afraid that they’ll end up being a really trendy name and will quickly become dated. I’d rather something timeless, like it’s always been popular, or really not popular ever, so it is never associated with a specific era.
