You will say it and your child will hear it over and over again. You will have to determine your priorities. There are benefits and disadvantages to both having a common name and a very unique name. Common names are easily spelled and recognized and may cause your child less problems in the schoolyard in early years. Having a unique name, however, may make your child stand out and feel extra special.
Names tend to follow trends and cycles of popularity.
Aside from the extremely common names that have always been popular, names that are currently very trendy are likely to go out of style. When choosing your baby's name, try to be objective and be sure that this name will sound as good in fifty years as it does today. It might also cause some hardship for your child to find that there are three other children in the same class with the identical name. Some parents look for extremely rare names to avoid the problem of overly popular names, while still others try to find a name that is fairly popular, yet not overly trendy. Many parents feel that it is very important to find a name that conjures positive or meaningful associations.
