Have you seen your own name on Baby Names?

[FoofFighter]

Was it rated or slated?

My name is on a thread now and am pleased to see so many people like it and think it's classic and elegant :) I however, am not

Third poster was posting odd stuff all over the boards.

People like mine. They think it's classic and timeless and, dare I say it, middle class. Which is funny as I am less keen on it. They think my nickname is awfully common though.

No-even though it is fairly common in scotland-my best friend has the same name as me and there were 2 others in our class!

I have seen my dds name on here-think it is becoming quite popular but have never seen either of my ds's names.

Yes I've seen mine on here and its always chavvy and horrible.

Never seen mine, DH's or DD's name on here
See DD2's (yet to arrive) a lot; it's always positively spoken about, but is becoming increasingly common. Have always loved it though, before it became very popular and actually, I don't know any anyway.
My friend has an adult friend with the same name as DD, but different spelling and there is a little DH's name in DD's class but again a different spelling. I don't know of anyone else by my name.

Mine pops up surprisingly often for a fairly obscure name. Usually rated.

Mine only ever comes up on those threads about names that aren't likely to come back into fashion anytime soon. Never seen anyone actually suggest using it.

I memorably remember my full name being described as very 'council estate'- which irked a tad, although I hate it myself It is very 1971 (there were 5 of us in one class at one point)I always, always shorten it.

my middle name is very, very classic. And I have given it my dd1, as her mn as i like it. It's Elizabeth.

All the time. (Its not my MN name)
Is pretty and classic (apparently)
It took until I was 23 to meet another one, now there are loads.

Never seen my name on any thread. fFfties name, lots of us around then. Cant see it having a comeback in the near future. Maybe my name is the same as WhoKnowsWhere maybe!

I have never seen mine mentioned, but I might go off now and do a search...

DS's has been mentioned rarely. I know because I have searched it many times

Occasionally but it's both loved and hated!

Another welsh one who appears on those threads. Generally liked, I like it

Mine is always suggested as a middle name, it's 3 letters and goes with everything. Both DDs are often mentioned, DD1 in lists of classics, DD2 as not much liked--people prefer a similar alternative.

mine is liked but not common, bit 70s tv chick

dd is a bit common sniff

Mine is twee and is often followed by "can you imagine a judge/Dr/pilot called it?" I love this as I am Dr TweeName who has had flying lessons. It is only ever suggested when someone is asking about a really, really twee name as a sort of compromise.

Mine comes about once a week, and is generally quite well liked, classic if a little dull. It is v unusual for my age, but must be top 20 or so now. DH's name seems to have a similar reception.

DS's name comes up quite a lot, sometimes because people like the very common abbreviation, but not the full name, or on lists of traditional, unremarkable boy's names.

Don't think I have ever seen DD's name on here, and it is really not that uncommon.

My name is never ever mentioned...is a bit Victorian but obviously not nice enough for the come back ala Molly, Ethel etc...several authors and a few politicians share my name but alas, have never met a baby with my name dammit!

Ha! I have just seen DD's name suggested for the first time.
