BABY NAMES, what are your faves?

[KSUViolet06]

I think it's silly/dumb when people say "Well, we liked *insert name here* but decided not to go with it because it's soooooooo popular now."

I really don't understand. If you like that name for your child, what does it matter if it's popular? Naming a kid isn't a "who can name their kid the most obscure thing" contest.

Any name you can come up with, like people have said in this thread, has already been done. I just think it's a very annoying hipster thing to say that you love a name but won't use it because you heard how popular it is. But then again, this is coming someone who likes common, simple names like Claire, Harper, etc.

Is that a generational attitude (wanting your kid's name to be unpopular/obscure?) I feel like my generation is full of Jessicas, Brittanys, etc. and our parents were fine with it.
