babynamesI've noticed it seems to be a trend here to really dislike popular names and it's not the typical 'well, I like it but since it's so popular I would avoid using it at this time' but, with the exception of made up/misspelled names I just don't get it when people go 'Madison/Sarah/Emma sucks! It's in the top 10 HELLO! I'd pick any name but that' or something along those lines but more sugar coated or something. So what say you, do you honestly rule out a name on the hate list because it's popular or simply sigh and hope by the time you have a child the trend dies down?
I for example will admit I love Aidan as a name, the meaning is really sweet and I just like it. Not to mention that spelling it Aidán it is perfectly easy for my hispanic family to pronounce. And whenever I mention my like of the name it's like OMG EW -AYDEN TREND FOLLOWER!! When really... it's a name that's been around for centuries!
Another name I really like is Madison... this one I wouldn't use so much and it's not as high up as Aidan but it's nice enough but OMG EW MAD- TREND FOLLOWER gets so tiring to hear...

Date: 2009-12-28 03:13 pm (UTC)::shrugs:: I love her name, I think it's beautiful and it suits her well. So what if she isn't the only one? My husband is William and there are always TONS of Williams everywhere and he's ok. Didn't scar him any. She also has two middle names that she could go by if she wanted to (her full name is Madeleine Allison Mae), so there are lots of possibilities here. My sister frequently calls her Mae, which I think it really ctue.
