[Opinions] Re: People with Top 10 names: how has life treated you?
in reply to a message by erb816
My name was very popular in my country and especially in my region the year I was born and it continued to be popular for a long time. As a result, I found people with my name almost everywhere I went (when I was in school there were three other girls with my name in my class). However, the name is not classical or timeless so I don't think it will feel dated for a long time.
I don't think popularity should be a deciding factor when choosing a name for a kid. In the end, a name is popular because a lot of people like it so I think there's nothing wrong with using a top 10 name for your child. Having many people named the same in, for example, school is no big deal either - when they call your name all you have to do is turn your head and ask "which one?"
