I'm a teacher and I have 3 Lily's in my class, it's a nice name but maybe too common now. Henry is also over done. I have inlaws that named all 3 of their kids after presidents. I also don't like when people do themes for their kids names. Like all starting with the same letter.
I love my own kids names. My daughter is Kailey Lynn (Lynn is my moms middle name and my middle name so I kept that tradition going). My son is Jonathan Brody (likes to be called Jon). My husband has "JB" initials and so does his dad, so he wanted to keep that going as well. My husband wanted to name him Jaden but I thought that name is too girly now.
A name can be colored by what is included and by what follows it. I have a grandson whose name was decided 15 generations ago, his name is followed by XV, and I use that as part of my user ID. I don't have a middle name, just an initial so my middle initial is followed by (I.O.).
There are many. But I'll throw in a few that quickly comes to mind:
Pi
Blaine
Tristan
Axel
Ralph
Finley
Gertrude
Hanna
Heidi
Jennifer (in this case, not because I dislike the name - I don't - but there are SO MANY Jennifers in his side of the family)
LOL, it's just a personal dislike of the name Hunter, IMO it's like saddling a kid with a trade, or occupation type name, like "Baker", "Plumber", "Electrician", although that is exactly how many surnames came about.
I had a coworker one time who insisted on naming her baby-a girl- Hunter, and apparently she even overrode her husband's wishes when she did so.
hey watch it! j/k
seriously, my nephews are Hunter & Mason. That whole family it's very craftsman oriented. It works okay for them. of course Mason is an electrician....and i think he's going plumbing now, too.
i heard of a mother who couldn't think of twin names so she named them Lemonjello and Orangejello but pronounced the emphasis on the 2nd syllables and made it sound French. LeMON ZSELLO (like Zsa-Zsa) OrRON ZSELLO. You hear all kinds of weird names in Memphis. I heard a mom fussing at her little girl: "Tyrany! Get over here!"
