Re: Take a look at the choice of baby names from this list!
Those names are awful!
I could never name a child McKenna because there's a bar & restaurant where I used to live with that name. Every time I see the name, I think of that place, and it wasn't particularly classy.
I guess I'm of the mind that a common name isn't the worst thing in the world. If you like it and think it suits your child, then go for it. DH and I both have ridiculously common names (mine is #1 for the 80s, his is #2) and survived without any permanent scars. I think in one high school class there were 2 other girls with my name and 3 boys with his name. It was fun, we'd mess with the teacher by sitting right behind one another so she'd have trouble calling on any of us.
But she hates the name "Jena." And "G" and "Ruth."
I named my kid a redneck name, but it was still a real name.
Oh, and while we are on it- I know two Aiden sib-sets.
One is Aiden and Addison.
One is Aiden and Adrian.
I hate parents.
See, to me, Landry = Tom Landry = you are WAY too into football. Same with Payton/Peyton, but Eli is okay, oddly. Addison is a disease.
Also, it seriously irks me that I named my kid something with a lot of familial history and sh*t, and then people turn around and whine about how populaaar it is all of a sudden and omg it was such a niiice name a few years ago. How about you're part of the problem. I'm not saying that only names with lots of gravitas and provenance or whatever should be allowed, but dude, wth do you think was the thought process of the majority of the parents who named their kids that?
