Argh! I get soo possessive over names I've picked!

How silly is that? I know there is no way in this world I am going to pick a name that no one else uses but I can't help but cringe when I see other people with the same names!

I love our name choice for DD but I'm noticing it being used a lot more recently. Well, actually I don't know of anyone personally with that name but have had quite a few people say "Oh, so and so named their daughter that!" I just smile and nod.

I love my son's name but with all the Brayden's, Aiden's, Caden's and Jayden's, I'm a little hesitant to have another name that's overly popular this time! But, I love the name and I'm not changing it. Fingers crossed it doesn't get to overused.

  • Ethan's name is #3 on the social security list. ?It's amazing how few Ethan's we run into in our daily lives. ?I don't give it a second thought.

    Really? I think I am the opposite, actually. I was super excited when jorie named her DD Emilia :) Maybe it's because my DD's names are less common.

  • I have loved the name Sydney since (I'm hiding my head in shame) watching Melrose Place.  I'm that old, lol.  Well anyway, I always said that I would name my dd Sydney.  Now, there are tons of ppl I know who have named their dd or ds Sydney/Sidney.
  • yeah..I hear ya.  My favorite dd name has always been Madeliene Anna but I nixed it when I saw how popular Madeliene was.
  • I can see where you are coming from.  I love the name Emerson, but DH said it was a boy name. some race car driver :) ROEM, Emilia was on our list, but our last name rhymes with Earhart (sp?) so that was out.  I love DDs name (Stella) but it seems that ever since we had her I've heard of a bunch of other Stella's. I can't imagine it'll become super popular, but who knows. crossing fingers that she doesn't become one of 10 in her class or something liek that.

    I have a Stella too.  I thought it was a pretty unique name but I have seen 2 others in our area since she was born, so frustrating.  Emerson was also one of the names we considered for DD.

     It's funny...I'm finding the same thing with my Emma. It's #1, yet I only know 1 other Emma and have only come across very few people named that (and they're mostly adults). Now DS's name is a lot less common (160+on the index), but I hear it all over the place.
