HelpRe: I feel you
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
I like your argument, actually :P because my name isn't in the top 1000. And I'm over 13 too. I never got crud for my name, people complimented me on it. I kinda liked my name just as it was no matter how popular. I didn't care really if it was more popular, but I must admit it's fun how no one else I know has this name. It has it's ups and downs, if someone gossips with the name Kailey in their mouth, it could be several girls in my school, but with my name in their mouth, I know its me.
And to add: I think that if a kid at a young age assumes everyone to dislike him because he hates his uncommon or common name, he carries that baggage with him probably throughout his childhood and maybe life. But if that kid takes his name and runs with it and makes people proud of his achievements in life and he's confident, people will see him and be proud that he personified himself despite his name or whatever else factored into the situation that could have generalized him (or made him "stick out"). Now excuse my run-on sentence haha.
