Re: Common names
I love common names which are classics such as Katherine, Elizabeth, Edward, and Joshua. I don’t like the popular creative or trendy names such as Hayleigh, Jaxxon, Oakley, etc.

I also like classic names! I like my country forms of Katherine and Elizabeth (Kateryna / Yekaterina & Yelyzaveta / Yelizaveta), Edward (Eduard) is not my style but I would much rather a kid called Edward than Paxtyn.
Hayleigh I prefer spelling Hayley or Hailey, it sound nice but I don't like name that come from surname. Jaxxon is very no. Oakley is also surname. Where I live our modern names are derived from words (like Dzvina or Zirka) or are western names (like Bella or Emma). They are not common here. I do not like the western names here, they are fine if you live in English speaking country but we should keep our own culture here and not take English culture because it "cool" or what ever. Word names it depends, the examples I gave, Dzvina remind me of Old Slavic names so I do kind of like it, Zirka sound nice but it is a bit diminutive-ish and it have a little communist vibes.
