Help[Opinions] Haven isn't that common of a word.
in reply to a message by Lily
Plus most people are unfamiliar with it as a name. You have experience of having a common name, I have experience of having an unusual one. It would be one thing to have a name that was unusual, such as Magdalene, it's another to have a word name. *shrugs* To each their own with - I dislike having an unusual word name and I dislike how close it is to Heaven even more.

While it's definitely rare as a name and I wouldn't really be inclined to use it, maybe it just depends where you live and what circles you move in how common it is as a word... Having spent years at the left coast of Canada, the word seems fairly normal as a word even if not so much as a name.

I think with a name like Haven, it does depend on where you live. I've met two out here (both male), and no one thought it was a particularly strange name. Maybe it's different in more conservative areas?

Huh? I have an extremely uncommon name for my age group. I didn't even met another person with it until I was in my early 20s. It was unheard of when I was little, it's just getting a bit more popular for babies now. I loved being the only one and I liked it when people asked me where it came from and stuff. Yeah, to each their own. I wouldn't mind being named Haven, in fact I'm close with someone named Harbor and he loves it. But yeah, I guess some people don't like having a word name.

What is your name? Lily? Or do you not want to reveal it?
