@DrakesMomma I hear you. My son has a great first and middle name. His first name is not anything unusual but it's not super common.

 

When he got his senior year yearbook, and he went to  a very big high shcool in Southern California, I went through it and there was only one other boy (in the freshman class) with his first name.

We have three fairly new little ones in the family. Only one of the names is on the list. Theodore.

I'm surprised those names are as normal as they are and are "real" names. Maybe except Luna.

I am surprised that Michael is not on the list.  I thought that was always on the list.  That is my favorite male name of all times.

 

I have never really liked my name.  My Mom said she picked that name because a little girl down the street had the same name.  Not a good enough reason in my  mind.

 

At my second job, all my receipts have "123" and then the first three letters of my first name.  Those three letters are a word that, well, let's just say I wish my name were not spelled the way it is.

I know around five Isa's born in the past year or two.  I am surprised it's not on the list.

 

Luna is an extremely popular for pets too.

 

My name has never been on the popular list.  I was the only one growing up with it except for a couple of old ladies and I hated it.

 

Now, I hear it once in a while.

My newest great niece is named Luna.

 

I have never heard it before she was born.

I like all the names on on this list.

Mine wasn't popular the year I was born plus it's unisex.

Interesting how books, TV, and film affect name popularity.

The year I was born, the name Mom had picked out for me was #3 on the popularity list.  

 

Thankfully Mom shared the name prior to my arrival, and realized she couldn't stand to hear my grandmother mangle the name every time she said it, so she came up with something very simple and easy for my grandmother to pronounce!
