it's too popular for me, personally, if even it is a very nice name!

i would just consider one thing, how would you have felt growing up if your name was jennifer/jessica/ashley/amanda/sarah (which were the top 5 names in '84). would it have bothered you to always be called Jennifer *last initial*? it's something i think of because i was always, even now, am refered to as Krystal M. and it kinda sucks! (to me at least)

but if that doesnt bother you and it is the perfect name, go for it! i know what it's like to find the perfect name for your baby and have people say "don't do it!"

it's funny, because when i was growing up with the name margaret, i hated it! i still am kind of annoyed at the fact that people always say "oh, my great grandmother's name is margaret!" seriously, this happens all the time, because it's such an ancient name.
i've grown to like it, but when i was younger, i wanted to have a "normal" name. i never knew any one with my name, and honestly felt kind of out casted because of it. it seems weird, but it's how i felt.
not to mention the fact that learning how to spell my name was hard, and people to this day still spell my name wrong and i get so tired of correcting it. i often ignore it.

that's pretty understandable, you don't want your son to go through that, too!
