Which is most important for you in choosing a name?

  1. How much you love it?
  1. How popular it is?

Would you be put off a name you love because its popular or would you use it regardless?

And if you were put off, why does a popular name bother you?

Just curious

I'm the opposite I hate my name and nobody else had it - wasn't unique just pants

sorry, name

How much I love the name and how suitable I felt it was for my child!

And yes, I would be put off by a name being very popular. I have a common name and hated being one of 3 girls in my year with the same nama.
