zoerhenne--thanks for the info on the previous name remorse discussion--very interesting. Jennifer--thanks for the perspective. It's nice to hear that someone with a popular name can make it through unscathed :) In the end I think we will wait and see what happens with the name; if it continues it's climb too high we will probably go the nn route. There's popular and then there's Popular, and the name is still only in the 70's on the SSA list. It has risen quickly the past few years, but the total numbers are still not that high. Worst case scenario the name may "sound like the 2000's," but I doubt dd will be in a class with 5 others. I think I need to chill out :) Tess--I'm new to the board, but congratulations on your grandson! Love the name.
As a point of interest related to Jewish naming--I have a friend who is very observant and who did absolutely nothing baby-related before the birth; they did not know the gender, did not work on the nursery, and did not name the baby until she was born. They ended up naming her Naomi--I have always thought that was a beautiful name. Of topic, I could use some advice: what do you do with an intense feeling of name regret? My husband and I agreed on our son's name almost immediately. Even thought the name we chose was popular, it had meaning for us and we both loved it. We became pregnant with our daughter just a year later, and we just couldn't agree on anything. We eventually picked a name we both liked, but neither one of us loved. And although I had no idea at the time, the name is growing in popularity at an alarming rate. If I loved the name that would be one thing, but I'm afraid my daughter will be stuck with a date stamped name because I was negligent with my social security charts! :) Any advice or insights?
