Would you pick a popular name for your new child? Top 100? What about top 10? Why or why not?
With our first child, we unknowingly picked a name that (with a different spelling) was in the top 50. Still, my dd hasn't run into people with the same name very often. Only once or twice at church, there was one other girl with the same name and another time two other girls. It didn't seem to bother my dd though.
With our 2nd child, her name is all the way down in the 600s, so it is unique. Lots of people have never heard her name before.
With our 3rd child, the name at the top of our list has been in the top 100 for 8 years and currently is in the top 10. I'm trying to find something we like just as well or better, but so far, no luck.
So what would you do? Pick the popular name or keep looking?
