Although the unique name is several hundred years old anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-239238 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 12:38:58 +0000 Maysprout 239238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my LOs name is both. It's a derivative of a very classic/biblical name. It's not in the top couple hundred for popularity but it's a derivative that everyone has heard of and is much more common where my husband of from than here. My daughter's middle name though I think is one of the most common middle name (not sure, just a guess) - Marie - but I still like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-239222 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 12:11:32 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 239222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: that was our #2 name for our daughter. we went to the hospital prepared with two names, and that was one of them! I am in love with it....our next daughter will probably have that name! Love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237811 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:08:47 +0000 regberadaisy 237811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan of unique but not modern or popular or edgy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237807 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:07:52 +0000 Wigglesj 237807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly have no preference in type but my husband STRONGLY prefers classic names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237730 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:34:13 +0000 DillonLion 237730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Classic.

AKA - names that you can easily pronounce and have heard before, but you don't know other people with the same name. I consider them unique if I haven't had a student with the same name (with over 400 different students each year, that's a pretty tough condition). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237346 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 03:42:31 +0000 Sweet T 237346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both. DS has a classic first name and a more modern middle name. DH has a pretty classic name as well. I'm the one with the unique name, but it's nothing too crazy. I'm not fond of crazy names/spellings at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237278 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:22:37 +0000 sandy 237278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: I guess i'll tell you the name because it is highly unlikely we will use it ;)...Everly...like Beverly without the B. my husband isn't crazy about it but for some reason I just love that name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237269 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:07:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 237269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: ooh you have me interested!</p> <p>I am definitely a mix between both. I like names that were classics but that haven't been used in a really long time, so it makes them unique. I also really like nature names, I guess those are pretty unique. I am a name fanatic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237268 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:06:49 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 237268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is unique and her little sister is classic. I guess I like both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237217 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:52:22 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 237217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because my daughter is Libby-Jane. Libby is both classic and unique in my opinion and Jane is definitely classic. When hyphenated together though its definitely a unique name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237215 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:49:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 237215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both... but leaning more toward unique- but not <i>quirky</i>. I named my son Jacobi. If we'd had a girl, our top names were Adelaide (classic), Gemma (unique/modern) or Evangeline (classic and unique). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237206 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:41:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 237206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went for classic and unique :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-237196 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:38:27 +0000 mrsjyw 237196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Classics mostly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236863 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:15:45 +0000 Boogs 236863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically prefer classic in hopes my kids won't be upset with me one day for picking what they felt was a "weird" name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236854 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:08:02 +0000 sandy 236854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both but for my own children I tend to favor classic names. There is one name that I love but it's kind of uncommon (a take on a classic name) but my husband isn't excited about it so maybe it can be #2's middle name if it's a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236846 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:04:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 236846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236765 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:36:52 +0000 autumnlove 236765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like classic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236761 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:36:06 +0000 Smurfette 236761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236757 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:33:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 236757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a unique family name for her first name and then a traditional classic name (Jane) as her middle name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236731 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:27:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 236731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both...My favorite name of all time is Lauren, very classic and beautiful. But I stupidly suggested it when my sister was born and my parents named her that, so it's out for me. But my daughter will be named something less classic, more trendy I guess:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236719 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:21:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 236719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely felt more drawn towards classic names, at least with our girl names list. Our boy name isn't classic, exactly, but it's not really "modern" or "unique" either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236697 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:16:54 +0000 MaisyMay 236697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer classic, but unique names are fun too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236696 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:16:39 +0000 mediagirl 236696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like classic names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-picking-names-classic-or-unique#post-236695 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:16:13 +0000 eeh 236695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because our LO's name is classic and unique, I think. It's definitely an "old" name but unique by today's standards. </p>
