Do you think children want to have a common or an unusual name?

[emkana]

My name was quite unusual in Germany when I grew up and I hated it, I always wanted to have a more common one. Dd1 has quite a popular name and doesn't mind at all meeting others who are called the same as her, whereas dd2's name is more rare and she often says she would like to change it.

So what do you think?

my name is really unusual and i am fed up of spelling it. now as an adult i used a popular name that is very similiar to my given name. In response to this i have given my children traditional names which my son loves. my dd is a bit young to ask
