So we are due anytime now and still haven't decided on a name. All the way through this pregnancy I had Lily in my head for some reason, however as the pregnancy has gone on I've realised how popular it is and have heard of so many people using it.
So a question for you. As someone with a very uncommon name myself I don't know if having a popular name is a bad thing or not.
I certainly don't want her to be in a class with 4 other Lily's but I don't know if that's realistic anyway - since everyone seems to be choosing quite unusual names now and there's 1000s to choose from, would it be ok? Or do you know lots yourself and think it's a bad idea?
Our second favourite is Jemima (Mima for short) which is very uncommon so completely the opposite side of the spectrum!
Thanks!!
