[Opinions] Re: Popularity
My best freind grew up with a very common name and spent ages thinking of an unusual name for her daughter she chose the then sweet and slightly old fashioned name of Chloe lol, only for it to suddenly become very popular a few months after her daughters birth and stay popular since
You cant predict which names are going to suddenly rise in popularity
Both my children have very common names, these are the names I have always loved and in the case of my son his first name is a name used in my family for several generations, common it maybe but it has meaning and history for me
As I see it better a name I know and love than second best which might suddenly zoom up the charts anyway :)

What are the names of your children?

Catherine and James though actually in their age group in my area people seem to be going more for Katie Kate and Jamie as given names rather than Catherine or James so as they dont use nicknames at school their names hopefully wont be so common if you know what I mean
