HelpRe: Popularity...
in reply to a message by Domestic Engineer
If I really loved a name, no, I don't think popularity would stop me.
Really popularity today is not like it was back even 20 years ago. In 1994, Michael was the most popular name. 44,463 boys were named Michael, more than 2% of all boys born that year.
Noah in 2014, is less than 1% of boys born, 19,144 boys given the name. And Noah isn't the most popular name in Michigan (you are still in Michigan, right?). It's #2, after Liam. Only 545 boys born in 2014 were named Noah. It comes out to being just a little over 6 Noahs per Michigan county. So, like, really, nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Also (and it depends on the personality of the person for sure), some kids are into sharing names, they think it's cool. My brothers both really liked knowing that their names were really popular.
