HelpRe: Preganant with Boy/Girl Twins!!
in reply to a message by Smiles(:
I'm going to ignore the fact that you're obviously a troll, because I know you want opinions on these names anyway. But yeah, just so you know, it's obvious you're a troll.
Konner looks silly and childish. I think Connor would be decent enough. Nicolas is nice; I prefer Nicholas unless you have a specific reason for that spelling.
Kimi Nevaeh sounds like a cartoon character. Kimi is silly. Kimberly is silly and dated, but it's miles better than Kimi. Nevaeh is one of those names that seems really "cute" and "original" right now, but I can guarantee you that in 10 years when everybody knows a little Nevaeh and everybody knows that omgit'sheavenspelledbackwardsomghowcute, it's not going to be so fun to have.
Rylan is not my style and it sounds a lot like thousands of other names that are popular right now, but it's not bad. Joshua is decent, but I can never picture a 40 year old Josh. It seems like such a teenager name to me.
Riley on a girl is bad in my opinion. It's just silly. It sounds masculine, it's trendy, it sounds like a million other popular names, and nobody will be able to tell her gender. Juliane is gorgeous; my favourite from your list.
What do you think of Juliane Kimberly and Nicolas Connor?

OK, how am I troll for getting tired of everyone looking down on my age? I know what I did and I accept the fact. Ive long gotten over the fact that I am too young and I've become excited. I'm sorry for all of y'all who look down on me. And I'm not too proud of what I did, but now all I can do is focus on being a good mother and that's exactly what I plan on doing. I am actually excited for these babies because I've never known how it feels to be a mother and how it feels knowing that these children are going to be my responsibility. So, all I say please quit criticizing my decisions and try to understand where I come from.

You being a troll has nothing to do with your age. It has to do with your obviously fake story, the fact that you said you have a husband when you're 15, the change of your name, the change of your birthday, and the likelihood of you having boy/girl twins when combined with all these other facts.
You're welcome for the opinions, by the way.

Uhhh
We know your a troll because when someone asked if you were 15, you changed your age (and then your name) in your profile.
If you've really "gotten over the fact that your too young" you wouldn't have changed your date of birth. I see you've changed it back now. You really just need to get your story straight.
I have no explanation as to why you felt you needed to change your name too, but it's still pretty shady.

How is Kimberly dated?
I know it's my name so I may seem biased, but really I'm not a huge fan of my own name. Just I never understand this whole "Kimberly is dated" response to it. It's been in the top 100 female names since the 50s. It still is currently. How is it dated yet? Overly popular/fad makes more sense to me.

I'm actually really surprised looking at the popularity charts for Kimberly. I would've assumed it to decline a lot. The youngest Kimberly I know is my age (17). It just seems like a very 60's and 70's name to me. I guess the popularity charts may differ with this, but it's more of a vibe I get than anything else.

We had a discussion about this once
Actually it was a long time ago, but I remember it really well. Lemme see if I can find it....
Aha! Yay.

Yes I noticed that, that is very strange too. The only Kimberly's I know are my age and up. To meet a little Kimberly would probably be baffling to me. It's so very popular in my age bracket.
Post 2:
[Kimberly has it's fans...]
They're mostly not on naming boards, though, lol. I believe its current popularity is mostly among Hispanic families. Same thing explains the staying power of Jessica, Ashley, Stephanie...
Post 3:
I think that's correct, and it is a common phenomenon among first generation immigrants. Immigrants often want to give their kids "American" names to help them fit in, but they are not acculturated enough yet to be affected by the same trends that native born American parents are, so they choose "American" names from among the names of adults that they know. They don't realize that by doing so they are usually -- especially when it comes to girls' names -- giving their kids names which are now "out of date".

Ah, that was around when I just joined/didn't really go on the message boards much.
Thing is though, it's still being used enough to be within the top 100. So unless you're saying names are judged by only the white population of the United States, it doesn't make any difference. I know they probably weren't trying to say that but that's what those posts tell me. I actually have a problem with a lot of what they said but it'd probably just sound really nitpicky, but yeah, that doesn't cut it for me. If I see a name, I see it. I don't really care about "Oh they came from a hispanic background so it doesn't count!" That just sounds silly, especially because I live in a highly diverse and immigrated area. Why would I really care where they heard the name or why they chose to pick one of a different culture? I'm sure they didn't pick a name they disliked by any means. If I went to Spain, I wouldn't name my daughter Beatriz just because I heard it a lot when in fact I hate the name. I'd probably use one I liked and heard a lot (Well not really, I have Spanish names I like, but for conversational purposes, I would).

I think the point is, it hit it's popularity peak in the 60s. It's been falling, and it feels dated. Yeah, it's still being used, and I'm sure not only by Hispanic people.
But I think that the first-gen immigrants are probably a big reason it's so popular. Another reason might be people honoring older Kimberly's (that's my explanation for several of the dated sounding names that still top the charts). And I'm sure there are some people who use it because like it, but then, there are people who like Shirley and Lisa too.
And a lot of people don't research names. Not everyone's a namenerd, right? And I've met people who really 'don't care' about names and they don't have much they like or hate. It might be as simple as "gee I want my child to fit in, and I have three co-workers named Kimberly... it must be a popular, American name! I'll use that!"
idk. I dunno if I made the point or not. Just because it's making the top 100, doesn't mean it doesn't sound dated. There are plenty of names on the list that sound dated but are still there (Kevin, Jason... everyone's bored of Sarah, but it's still number 20.)
