As a soon-to-be teacher I'm just curious as to why they would avoid the popular names? If a teacher hasn't had any kids who've ruined the name for her, then there is no reason why she wouldn't use a popular name. The spelling could use some help for sure though.

I would think they've met enough _____ 's with the popular names that they'd want something that is not already associated with a student they've had.

After you have taught for a few years, you associate the popular names w/ students. Doesn't matter if they're good or bad...You just think of a student w/ that particular name. If it's super trendy, you just get tired of hearing it over & over & over.
I am a teacher and DD has a popular name, Olivia. But I can honestly say after teaching for nine years, I have never taught an Olivia. The logic of teacher avoiding popular names only applies if the popularity is regional.
Re: So much for my sense of logic - teacher named her baby...
How yoo-neek of her.

Not spelling- that's for sure.
