Help[Opinions] Re: Nope, not "unfashionable"
in reply to a message by Tippins
Oh, Simon was always my favorite! and I love the nn Sim. But, it sounds rhymey with our last name (ends in "en" sound). So, I can't use it. I tried to convince my husband to use Simone (Italian form of Simon pronounced SEE-mo-nay), but he wouldn't go for it. Now, I just try to work the intials into SIM, so I can still have the nn Sim.
And Adelaide! I never heard anyone else mention Adelaide until I came to these boards; and it's on everyone's list. I read the Anne of Green Gables books and all other LM Montgomery books since childhood. Adelaide was a name mentioned in one of the books, and I've loved that name since I was 10 years old.
I'm convinced that Scarlett is becoming a trend just because a newer celebrity bears the name (Johansen).
Wow, I can't believe Nehemiah is coming up the charts. Actually, I do know a Nehemiah, about 12 years old, I think.
I refuse to use a trendy name. I think it would be horrible to be one of 5 Emilys/Madisons/Aidens in a class. Every time I'm shopping, I hear a mother calling for a Madison. I haven't noticed any Aidens in our region, but I do know a Cade, 2 Kadens, a Braeden, and a Hadyn. I'm not rejecting Silas yet. #346 is a ways down on the charts, so I don't consider it a trend yet. We'll see. I'm just so afraid of a name boom of my name right when I name my child. I guess everyone has to be scared of something.
