HelpRe: Coraline
in reply to a message by Yellow Rose
I hate it. I loathe it. I despise it.
I'm sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine whenever a name from pop culture gets SO MUCH ATTENTION all of a sudden when no one cared about it before. Coraline, Leia, Eowyn, whatever, it just bugs me. Nothing against the name itself.

It's not a popculture name though
Coraline is a French name and has INSEE data (like French SSI info) going back to 1954

Maybe I'm confused and you mean it gained popularity through a book and film? If so I agree that can be annoying but there seems to be some urban legend that Neil Gaiman created this name which I've never understood.

Yes, that's what I mean.

Is it becoming popular? I don't know of anyone with this name and haven't heard of any friends or friends of friends naming babies this. And... I don't like it because of the movie.

No, not popular in the real world, but popular on name sites. Sorry, I should have made that clear.
