I do wish more parents would give up the idea of trying to find the ‘unique’ name. Every child is unique as a child of God. Making them special takes parenting, not a name.
Heck, when I was in school we had 3 or 4 Michelle's and Michael's in every class. That would have driven me crazy.
My name was very unique when I grew up. It has become more popular now, but I was the only Kara all through school.
I was always grateful for that, especially since my last name was awful to say and pronounce. It made it easy for teachers, friends, and myself to only have to refer to me by my first name.
