this is classic. the sad thing is, there are so many nice names on here.

fun fact! i like names that are uncommon but not unusual. (my name is rare, there are maybe 2 girls the same age as me that share it, as far as my social/uni circle goes. & my brothers name, Richard, is so rare for a 15 year old that we’ve never heard of anyone within 3 years of him sharing it. yet we don’t have crazy names. a+ parents, a+)

(James’s brother is a Richard :P )

My name is so common that it makes me spew sometimes. At least my brother was given a relatively unusual name (Christopher)

I know about 40293840293 Christophers. And twice as many Sara[h]s.
That’s what happens when you go to Christian schools.

fuck this article. i’m naming my daughter after sylvia plath (and her middle name after lux lisbon), and my son after jack kerouac.

FUCK. THIS. ARTICLE.

 FUCK THIS SHIT. Name your baby whatever you want. I love the name Harper.

i was naming my kid Zoe and Israel anyway…i dont care lmao
