My names arent common eira and caspian are the names weve chose. Eira is slightly popular. I didnt want too common of a name. But it took us forever to choose a girls name.
I feel similarly as others. We were set on Oliver until I recently looked it up in the charts and realized it had become a popular name since I was growing up. Kinda broke my heart because I'd never (still have never) met anyone named Oliver. I just didn't know it had become a top name. Same with Olivia. If Oliver is now one of the new Michaels or Tylers, no thanks. Moving on!

I picked my daughter's name years before she was born, and it ended up being somewhat of a popular name but didn't know that until after the fact. I am a Jennifer that grew up in the '80's, so I know what it's like to like with a popular name. Haven't picked out names for this one yet.
I hope that we can decide on a name that isn't extremely popular.
For our girl name, the first name isn't on the top 1000 but for a boy, like a pp I love Oliver but it is really popular right now. Hopefully DH can find a name he likes for a boy...he is so picky :P
@slang434 we love Oliver too! It's super popular nationwide but I don't know a single Oliver in our area so I think it's still our #1. Have you looked up your state's most popular names according to SSA?

They just released the 2014 names in Alberta (I'm Canadian ) and Oliver was in the top 10. The TV show Arrow has made the name super popular. I haven't met anyone who has a little guy with the name but my brother is Michael and there were always so many of them in his classes and I don't want to do that. Both DH and I have relatively common but not popular names and I do like that.

Edited to say that I'm not because I'm too lazy today.
