Re: Why does Everybody Like Such Weird Names Lately?
in reply to a message by SamBelden
Well, obviously, everyone values uniqueness. The irony is that while trying so hard to be unique, many are following the same path to uniqueness. Therefore, most are not achieving this. Even those who do come up with something truly unusual, are still following a similar trend. It's a fad -- like most things. I really believe there will be a name "revolution" one day. Everything cycles. I imagine today's children will lead the way. ;-)

Am I the weird one then? Because I honestly couldn't care less about uniqueness. In fact, popularity (or past popularity) is one of the things that draws me to a name.
We like names that aren't unique too. We (on this forum, at least) have a more open mind to what is a good name. I'd take a common name over one that's impossible to read on first glance any day.
