We decided on it many years ago and didn't let its climb in popularity deter us from using it. My DH has a very, very common name and it's never bothered him. My name is uncommon and often misspelled/mispronounced and it always bothered me, so I wanted to pick something familiar and easy to spell and pronounce. I do worry that DS will be bugged by his common name someday, but so far he hasn't had another in his classes, though I know there's at least one other one in his daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308500 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:34:09 +0000 LulaBee 2308500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her name was #897 last year, but I've heard of 3 other girls around town born after her with the same name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308482 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 06:57:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 2308482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evan was in the mid-40s the year he was born but we've never met another child (we do know some adults, though, and I think maybe one of my coworkers has an Evan, but not one I interact with much). </p> <p>DD's likely name was #21 last year, and I have a friend from HS who has a daughter with the name (but we're just FB friends now). It's a very classic, traditional name though, so I'm not concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308479 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 06:53:15 +0000 Ms. RV 2308479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's name was #467 last year (she was born this year). I know of three other people with her name: a friend of my sister in 7th grade, a scientist at the company I work for, and a character on Days of Our Lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308472 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 06:38:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2308472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in the top 1000.</p> <p>There's a couple girl names that would be nicknamed to his that are climbing the charts though. Hopefully he doesn't have to be _____ V. because girls in his class go by a nickname that is his first name! Time will tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308444 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 05:54:54 +0000 yin 2308444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard of both of my kids' names online through Hellobee and blogs, but I haven't met another person with their names in real life. DS2's name is the top name in Australia and the UK. I didn't intend on him having such a popular name overseas, and I'm sure it'll gain popularity here too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308438 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 05:36:52 +0000 avivoca 2308438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not popular at all!

When I told my Ob what we named DD, he was surprised and said it was a name for older women. You hear a variation of my son's name from time to time, but it doesn't seem to be very common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308363 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 23:06:15 +0000 Meowkers 2308363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's name is in the 900s according to SSA.

One is dh's distant hs friend who named her son after us and ds2's name is also one of my good "online" friend's son's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308310 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:50:51 +0000 photojane 2308310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For her birth year, apparently it was number 50 on ssa database. She doesn't have any friends with the same name. I've only met one other Sadie, and she's less than a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308299 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:43:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2308299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to the ssa website it's in the 130sin the U.S. And 70s in our state. I've met two others, one a bit older and one a new baby, but I've had quite a few people mention they had considered it for their own child before going with something else. </p> <p>I know a couple of Charlie's (maybe nn for Charles) but no Olives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308266 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:04:43 +0000 MoonMoon 2308266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to the social security figures, top 50! But we haven't met any little ones with his name yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-is-your-los-name-1#post-2308258 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:58:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2308258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie had another Charlie in his daycare, but hasn't had another one in his pre-k, kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2 after school programs. That said I think Charlie is a particularly popular name in our neighborhood, as we hear it on the playgrounds all the time.</p> <p>Olive has been climbing in popularity according to name charts, but I've never met another Olive though I've heard of them online. I think it's going to become more popular because Drew Barrymore named her daughter that (after my Olive was born but to be fair she voiced Olive the Other Reindeer).</p> <p>How popular is your LO's name? </p>
