Is the name you had picked out really popular? I didn't know that.

[faeriesong]

It was rated #3 in 2007.

My mom chose my name because it was not popular.. and then there were like 5 kids with my same name in school. :(

[faeriesong]

Ha! But your name is popular!! :-p

I said "search for another name that is less popular" HOWEVER if there was a reason that made me want to use the name that outweighed the fact that it's popular I'd use it anyway. But, I wouldn't use a popular name that I just liked for no specific reason other than liking it if it was extremely popular.

Also, you say it was #3 in 2007 - is that from the social security website or elsewhere? The SS website is really the only one that is accurate, the others are just poll's.

Agreed.

I like this site: http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager

And also this site has polls where people who HAVE the name comment about what it was like and respond to whether they were glad to be named that -- very great! I did Magnus as an example because that's my favorite dorky kid name:
