Were your parents unique in their baby baby naming?

lovetohike · November 2011

MIne were with some of us. I won't say my name because there are very few people with my name and this is the internet. Not everyone needs to know where I live LOL. I have never met another person with my name, but I have heard of one. My UPS driver said his cousin has my name. My name really isn't THAT unique.. but yet it is. It's not a crazy weird name where people look at me funny.. so that is good. Not a trashy stripper name so I am happy.

So here are my siblings names.

-Lief

-Bethany

-Lars

-Hunter

- Teal

- Micah

What are your siblings names?

FWIW.. I wouldn't have picked a few of those names.. I only named one of them. LOL

pumpkinspice4321 · November 2011

Adam. Not very original lol.

SweetBaby2004 · November 2011

Yes, at the time they were. Although, now, I have run into a few people that have my name and many that have my brothers' names.

They like to think they were trend-setters. I would have preferred a more common name.

sunnyday016 · November 2011

Haha not at all! My sister & I are Jennifer and Stephanie. Clearly we're 80s girls!

Middlesnpoddles · November 2011

I'm Autumn and my sister is Shannon... mehh I dunno?

CMSullivan326 · November 2011

Heck No. lol.

I'm an only child and my name isn't unique at all....Michelle. Yay.

BTW...^5 to your parents for having 7 kids...better them than me...LOL

LovestruckAJ · November 2011

My older sister's name is unique, but the rest of us (my twin sister & brother)....were pretty much the popular names around that time.

~Anelle

~Amy

~Amanda

~Michael

thatcrazyitalian · November 2011

I'm Gina and my brothers names are: Lucio, Davide, and Michael. Not at all unique for Italians...

EXL311 · November 2011

I'm Deirdre and my sister is Mignon so I would say yes. Our half-brothers (same dad) are Eston and Jady, so I would say yes again.

Chapter79 · November 2011

Nah, I'm a very late 70's baby and my name is dated- I'm Erika. Although, the spelling they chose was more "unique" since all of the ones I knew were Erica.

My brothers are Daniel and Cody.

jessa8909 · November 2011

I'm Jessica Nicole. Can you say 80's???

My brother's name is Brett. I'd say it's kinda in the middle...not popular but not unheard of...at least where I'm from.

KFACE08 · November 2011

Brandon, MN Michael.

I know Jennifer and Stephanie sisters!

Texas77again · November 2011

depends on where you live. i'm mexican and my parents named me Angelica. common in places like Texas, not so much in other states that i've lived in.

Notwifezilla7 · November 2011

Only with my sister's name, more so w/the spelling Jeanna (Gina) because our family is all "J's".

Fancy3Face · November 2011

This includes real & step siblings

Stephen

April

Catherine

William (Will)

Zachary (Zach)

Rebecca (Becky)

I'd say we came out pretty good on the name deal!

hurricanelydiaa · November 2011

Kind of. Our names aren't plain but they are all Biblical names. They just picked Biblical names that aren't used quite as often as "John" or "Mary".

mommybrynn · November 2011

Me: Brynn

Sister: Whitney

Brother: Jasper

Brother: Tripp

I have always thought mine did a pretty good job! Unique but not weird, or at least I think so....

benmel31 · November 2011

Me: Melissa

Brother: Andrew

I have always liked my name and loved the name Andrew.

wwnbw · November 2011

I'm Wednesday and my brother is John. I love my name but who does this? It's a cool name with the most common name EVER.

LadyXaverian · November 2011

I'm Sarah and my sister is Laura. Not unique, but I like our names a lot.

pensparade · November 2011

Sara. Eh. There were 4 of us in my grade. I hated being "Sara H." but I never hated the name Sara.

Siblings (including step)

April

David

Kristopher

Chelsea

Joseph.

My mom says when she picked my sisters name (Chelsea) in 1987, that people looked at her "like it was some ethnic African American name".

Eilis123 · November 2011

I'm Abigail, which wasn't that common in 1980. So, yes, somewhat unique.

hilwithonelary · November 2011

Yes, they were pretty unique. I'm Hilary and my sister is Cecily.

wlm740 · November 2011

My mom wasn't, Lacey, and Tiffany. But my mom's mom did it weird Randy, penny, and Cathy. Not too off for their time, then my mom, the youngest...Roselyn. Way out there. And not just that. The girls middle names were Lee, and Ann respectively, and my moms middle name....Dora. Weird.

ClareML10 · November 2011

I am Clare, which I have shared before is pretty much every woman on my dad's side. My brother is Clayton, not unique, but definitely not common at the time. I think they did pretty good.

Sean+Lyss · November 2011

When my mom named me my name was unique (not unheard of, just unique). My name is Alyssa. I am an only child, so my mom didn't get the chance to get creative or anything.

stahlop · November 2011

I'm Lisa and my brother is Scott, pretty common names for the late '70's early '80's.

MIniK910 · November 2011

this is with real and step sisters

Sara

Becky

Samantha (sam)

Miranda

Leah ( me)

Esther

ryry1977 · November 2011

Brothers: James (Jamey) and John

Sisters (and me): Ryanne (Ryan), Aidan, and Caitlin

so yes, a little. us girls have male irish names.

Jolaine83 · November 2011

Not at all creative. I'm a Jessica and my older brother is Brian. My mom has always joked that she wished she'd gotten more creative with our spellings. She wished she'd done Bryan (not so bad) and Jessika (ugh). Thank God for it only being an afterthought... LOL

My brothers are Daniel and Cody.

I'm Erika too and I have never met another Erika IRL that spells it that way my brothers are Craig and Christopher, not crazy unique.

acia · November 2011

My younger brother's name is Jenner.

My name is Acia - I've never met or heard of another one (though I'm sure there must be some out there). It's pronounced Ace-ee-uh.

I think mine were pretty creative.... At least that's what I say when people ask where my name comes from. I always reply, "Creative parents!"

bncmommy · November 2011

Colleen (me) and Tiffany. I've only met one other Colleen even close to my age!

beautifulstr13 · November 2011

My brothers are James, Michael, Joseph

all biblical.

queenbone · November 2011

No, my name was #3 in the year I was born and my sister's was #9.

talentedmomma · November 2011

My mother named me Jennifer, she claims that she hadn't heard it very often the year I was born, I think she led a sheltered life. Completely oblivious to the boom of Jennifer's in the early 70's

Adam. Not very original lol.

LOL, that's my brother. Although, my name is very unusual, so I guess they went more out there for a girl.

aimee1899 · November 2011

No they used names that were pretty trendy for the time period.

Sisters: Melissa, Christine and Heather. (And yes they were called Missy and Chrissy!)

Brothers: Erich (german spelling) and Sean.

BrittKav · November 2011

Nope, not original.

Brittney

Hannah

Sean

Cassandra (Cassie)

Seth

Hailey

christinamae1211 · November 2011

Not at all in my opinion! Christina, Melissa, Stephanie, and Christopher! But then my mother had three more children and named them Marcus, Ronnie, and Roxsandra. LOL
