Re: I don't think you'd call them "extremely stylish"

I think this way all the time. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or what (I certainly don't consider myself stylish at all), but somehow the names I love to death become suuuper popular within two or three years, and then I start to hate them. So what's a person to do?? Somehow I think though that I will end up going with either something really outlandish that will never be considered palatable by the masses, or just something that has really deep meaning to me, and popularity be damned.

yo, style shiftsif you let your namelove depend on something fleeting like style then of course you're not gonna end up liking your names in a few years! defying style and following style are bothwise being enslaved to style.

I feeel your pain. I've always liked 'old-lady' names, and now we're at the point where a lot of their original owners have died off, they've suddenly resurfaced in a big way and I am having to wave bye-bye to names like Lily, which everyone thought was awful when I named my dolls it. I'd still use them anyway right now, but I fear for Alice and Jemima every time I see them on here. And I'm also veering towards the uglier ones in the hope that they'll stay unpopular.

"So ugly it is beautiful" is no new concept...It goes back to Beethoven's Große Fuge Op. 133, and I am sure there are even earlier examples of artists having this foresight. :)
