Help[Opinions] Re: Savannah
in reply to a message by Lily8
You know, I think I have seen Savannah a lot higher on popularity charts like you say, but they all say something different. Some say Aiden is #17, others say it's #1.
Yes, I think living in the US does make a big difference on the porn star reference, and I have met other people that are reminded of her, but a lot of Americans haven't. It's not like I'm some sort of porn fan (LOL!), but I guess I can be something of a media whore, so I hear and get familiar with these names easily.
I also think Marina and Savannah go nicely together. I don't think I would ever use either, but I do like them.
You're right, my daughter almost never meets anyone with her name. there is one other Charlotte in her school, and she was named after the children's book, Charlotte's Web. This may be the only one she has ever known. She loves her own name, and I think that's important.
I appreciate the feedback on Ruby, too. You may well be right about how common it is becoming. I'm still not sure though if the perception of it being common is universally accurate or if it's more of a non-American phenomenon. Like Matilda... I can't see that ever getting popular in the US, but it is insanely popular everywhere else, especially Australia. Interesting how a name's perceptions change so dramatically from one country to the next, isn't it?
