Well pfff, it's not me, it's THEM

So to twist it around... what names do you really like, that most other people just don't? Are you stuck on an -ayden name? Is one of the Jon and Kate sextuplets sporting one of your favorites? Are you considering that old-lady moniker for your newborn?

Are you going to use your name no matter what people say?

When I first put my name list together, I used the name Willa, and it totally bombed in votes and I'm not quite sure why. (Willa Cather, anyone?) I decided it was just kind of obscure and I didn't LOVE it, my husband didn't like it at all, so I abandoned it.

Theresa (possibly with nickname Tess or Tessa) is definitely one of my front runners and not too many people seem to like that either. It's a family name though, and I'm holding on to it!

I've also noticed that Warren tends to do poorly in votes. Also a family name that's in definite contention for a middle name. And recently I've noticed a lot of scoffing here at Finnegan, which is also a family name I'd use as a middle.

I like the name Felix for a boy but people have told me how much they dislike it.

For some reason, I view it as a snobby name...but I still love it!
