How many times has your name been mentioned in the baby names topic?
I searched mine, it was twice, both times to be called a 70's name and that's it.

I was reading something about the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe AGAIN today, seems to be a total Lion revival going on... and I realised that of the four names, Lucy is already in the top 10 or so. (Prince) Caspian was mentioned on the thread the other day. Edmund could become an alternative choice to Edward. I reckon Susans and Peters might crop up occassionally. I know they are 1950s names though.

PuppyDogTails · 31/05/2008 18:14

Only 6 times, but when I was at school it was by far the most popular name.

Nope.

I did a search in the Baby Names topic and read the number at the top

And no, nor do half the other MNers in my address book - loads of us!

QueenMeabhOfConnaught · 31/05/2008 18:41

Mine is 0.

Squirdle · 31/05/2008 18:49

Rebekah is 14 (but 2 of those were what I wrote 10 minutes ago) and Rebecca is 95.

minniedot · 31/05/2008 20:05

minniedot · 31/05/2008 20:06

My name? Never!

rolledhedgehog · 31/05/2008 20:07

12 times but most of those were in the context of surnames.

ja9 · 31/05/2008 20:11

3 times - and 2 of them for unpleasant reasons

i blame it all on a well known tv character about the same age as me - she ruined my name!

Lazylou · 31/05/2008 20:12

My name does appear but as a preference for Clara in most cases. It's never been mentioned on its own before unless I have written DD's first and second name in which case it will be there

wilbur · 31/05/2008 20:16

Rather more than I expected as I don't know any small girls with my name at all. Not one. Maybe I'm just about to stage a massive comeback.

puppydavies · 31/05/2008 20:17

97 times, is soooo topten no-one bothers to ask for opinions i reckon.
