Re: Zora and Xavier are 'weird'?
in reply to a message by Chloe McSwain
Xavier is ranked in the top 100 and is a classic. It has had significant usage all over the world in many forms for at least a century. Carson or Ivy (going from your top names) are much more "weird" or unusual.
Zora is an unusual name but it is legit, has a great meaning and history of usage and would be a fabulous name compared to Apple, Peaches, Moxie or Coco IMO. I wouldn't even put it in the same category as many celeb baby names.
Just my opinion.

I think it depends on the person's view. I don't think Xavier is a classic name at all but on odd name. Zora is an unusual and odd name as well IMO.
It depends on the level of education and where you're from.
Xavier and Zora are both classic to me, mainly because they've both been widely used in literature. Zora is the name of a famous author as well - Zora Neale Hurston. Xavier and Zora would be much more accepted in my "circles" than a name like Carson or Apple.

Question: What does education have to do with anything? Are you reffering to you an education in literature?
I could very well understand about where a person's from though.

Then what is that one woman who has the two kids adopted from foreign countries?? Where did you get my list of top names?? I'm just saying, I wouldn't use Xavier or Zora. Sorry.
Yeah. What about them? That's kind of a weird name. To me.
I do? Wow. I JUST edited that thing like 30 minutes ago, and people are already looking at it??? That's embarrassing. ( Did I spell that right?)

I thought that was who you were refering to when you said "that one woman who has the two kids adopted from foreign countries."
Why is people looking at your profile embarrassing?
