It does influence me
in reply to a message by Lilac Wine
I get miffed when a name I love starts climbing the charts, because I was always an Initial kid growing up and I really hated it.
I'm ok with sharing names with friends (my BFF and I both love the name Ruby for example) but I do cringe a bit to see a classful of Rubys. I get possessive of some of my names. I do start looking for alternatives when I start to see a name I like break the top 100 or if I see local BAs with the name everywhere. I'm just shallow that way.
