Names names...

[always-bawling.livejournal.com]

I don't like a lot of the names people people are naming their offspring as of late. To be more specific, basically anything that's on the top 20 list of names bugs me because it's...well...not original anymore.

Which sucks because I really used to love the name Madison. And Emma. But now they're totally overused and it sucks.

I'm worried that if I find a name I love, by the time my child is in school, EVERYONE will have that name. And then it will be like "Emma G., Emma W., Emma K., Emma L." and I don't want my kid to be "Emma W."

So I was looking towards Indian names because I just love the way they sound. Parminder (like the girl from ER and Bend it like Beckham) is so cute. I also like Alka, Kalindi, Trishna, Nidra, Sadhana, and Lavanya.

The questions are:

Are these TOO far out?
And are they inappropriate for someone of any race or color? Like, I might be put off if I saw a little Japanese girl named Shanequa. You know what I mean?

yeah. i agree with the not wanting everyone in the class to have the same name as your baby. thats how it was for me. i loved the name Jayden and Makayla and now its like everywhere you look someone has them names. now that i am pregnant and expecting my first. it took me like until i was 27 weeks to decide on a good name. finally i went with Savannah Rene' not many people ...well not any that i no are naming there little girl Savannah. i like the names you have listed.
