HelpRe: Because it's boring for everyone to like the same names?
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
See, but I have the...25th? somewhere around there, most popular name of my year. There are five Sams in my class. I don't mind.

Well good
You're you and I'm me and I didn't like it. I like to stand out a little. I like wearing brightly colored pants and my hair would be purple if I wouldn't get fired for it.
So you can name your kids Mary and Matthew and I won't complain that those are boring to your face because I'm not a jerk, and I'll name my kids Mordecai and Parisa and I hope you'll realize ultimately it's not your business what I like.

Yep!
So you (SamBeldon) like more traditional names. That's fine! Nobody's gonna go up to you and say, "You named your son John?! How dreadful!" Rachel and I will give or kids (if I have kids, but that's another story entirely) somewhat offbeat names, and people will either love them or hate them. More importantly, though, I hope that my child likes their name. My name was in the 800s in the American charts for the year I was born, mainly due to an ill-timed incident with a serial killer who happens to share my name. Still, I loved being the only Aileen in my school. In fact, I've never met another one. I can't imagine what it would be like to hear someone say some name like Matthew and to not know whether or not you're the one being addressed. Must be wild.

Alright. Cool.
Between you and me, I actually kind of like Mordecai.
