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.

I am with you on Mordecai-such a good name....Parisa is kind of pretty too

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