Well, call me old fashioned, but the New York Times did a study and found that people with "nomal" names tend to be more successful in their lives. Whether this is true or not, I cannot say, but if it were me I'd be naming my daughter something like Mary or Catherine or Margaret because I love simple, old-fashioned type names rather than names that sound like someone made them up while on a bad drug trip or while intoxicated.
YMMV

Emily and Elizabeth never seem to fall out of favor.
Sorry I never put up last name. The last name is Wixom if that helps? But Lyric is pretty, and my niece is Chloe so that one is out. But thanks for the ideas and suggestions.
Do you have any boy names you are thinking of? In case you do. I like the old fashioned names that have been around for a while and seem to be popular through the years. I Michael, Mathew, Richard, and Steve. My favorite is Steve.
Emily is so over-used it's pitiful. Who wants a child named the same as every other child in the same age group.
Nothing like being in class with 4 other kids with the same name. I'd hate that.
True...Emily was the number one name for years and years. Jessica was a popular name too for many years. The year I named my daughter it, I had never heard anyone with that name and it turned out to be the number one name that year.
well i guess my kid will be one of the unsuccessful (according to NY Times) cause I hate all the simple overused names, that are old enough to be my grandmothers name. I am Not into the margrets or emily's. And i dont think my names sound like someone was on a drug trip either. So hopefully my kid wont hate me for the name we choose....lol.
Only cause I did not se it posted... Olivia Marie. I might still use it if I have a girl. My son is Robert Dean
