Parenting Poll

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

The previous owners of our house subscribed to Parenting (The early years) magazine.  We got the last issue before it was redirected to their new address.  It's been here for a while, so I apologize if this has been posted but I just got around to reading it and saw this poll:



46% Yes
54% No


Aquote from the No side:

"My name, Kelly, is extremely common.  I have found it frustrating my entire life - I still turn around when someone calls my name in a store.  So for my children I chose names that ended up being moderately common and spelled them very alternatively, so at least they wouldn't have the problem in school of always getting back the wrong paper." - "Amilianna"

and on the Yes side: "A name is just a name - millions of people share them every day!  In fact, if you're picking a more popular name, there's even a good chance that another baby in the hospital has it too!" - "Tina"  (To me another baby in the hospital and a close friend or family member are totally different...)

 What do you think?
