So far haven't met one yet, though my mil is a teacher and had one the year DS was born. </p> <p>@kjpugs: There's a fairly popular "fashion" blogger who has an Effie, but it's the only other one I've ever seen at all (other than hunger games, of course). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237858 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:37:25 +0000 Andrea 2237858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely, which is kinda weird since their names aren't super unique. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237381 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:45:29 +0000 BeachMama 2237381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had anyone in DD's class, or at the playground, with her name. The preschool director though has a 9yo daughter with the same name.</p> <p>DS's name is pretty classic and common so I'm sure we'll run into more. Although I don't think I've seen his name at all in DD's classes either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237370 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:39:07 +0000 NovBaby1112 2237370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we never hear her name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237368 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:38:02 +0000 lamariniere 2237368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where we live, there is one other little boy at the playground with the same spelling but different pronunciation of my DS's name (for those who know his name, these people pronounce the "s" at the end). In France, my son's name is hugely popular, you hear it EVERYWHERE. In the US, it's not very popular.</p> <p>For DD, the pronunciation of her name is hugely popular in the US, but we chose the alternate spelling. Where we currently live, it's considered a middle age lady's name. In France, it's in the top 50, but I don't know any other kids with her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237327 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:13:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met one girl with the same name at the children's museum, but that's it. She's not in school or daycare but we meet lots of kids on the playground and at the museum. </p> <p>I also have two former coworkers with older kids with her name, which I already knew when we chose it (like 5 and 8 year olds). </p> <p>However a bunch of people have told me that they were considering the name for their LOs so I imagine I will eventually start hearing it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237326 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:13:11 +0000 anbanan15 2237326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure DD will never encounter another by her name. I know a few people with children the same as DS. Their all a either a little older or younger, so hopefully there won't be too many (or any!) in his same class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237324 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:12:48 +0000 mediagirl 2237324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I love people. </p> <p>There aren't any others at his daycare that I know of, but my bosses niece has the same name (its a unisex name) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237307 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:04:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2237307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No never!</p> <p>But DD2's name is probably more likely to be heard at an old folks home or a Red Hat Society meeting than at a playground! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237304 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:00:28 +0000 Anagram 2237304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's an older girl at my daughter's daycare with the same name, but they are in different classes. But I definitely hear it sometimes on the playground!</p> <p>Once a hipster couple heard me calling my Maya and asked how I spell it. I said, "Just the regular way---M-A-Y-A." And they were like, "Oh, our daughter is Mya. We wanted something fresh and not like all the others". Um...thanks?</p> <p>grrrrr. :silly: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237283 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 11:44:41 +0000 petunia354 2237283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet but his name is pretty classic so I expect to hear it more once he starts school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237279 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 11:42:57 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2237279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS and DD aren't attending school yet, but we choose their names because they weren't that common. But, we found out that there is another little boy at our Church who has the same name as DS and born the same year, but a couple months younger. I was bummed about that since I purposely chose his name thinking no one else would. I have yet to meet someone with DD's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237269 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 11:38:05 +0000 kjpugs 2237269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never seen another Effie under the age of 90 or so.

But no one at her school has the same name. I do have a very good friend whose daughter has the same name but we live far apart and I think it's really fun that they share a name. I have someone to pass on the monogrammed hand me downs to :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-los-name-popular-at-the-local-playgroundschool#post-2237252 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 11:25:57 +0000 hilsy85 2237252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, plenty of them!
