I've never met anyone with the same name as me, and I really love it. We're planning on naming our baby the same way. Our baby will have a unique name, but it will be able to pronounce and spell.</p> <p>I did hate when ppl mispronounced it when I was younger, but now I'm happy to have a unique name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-766183 Tue, 07 May 2013 16:04:56 +0000 birdofafeather 766183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unique. our LO's name is out of the top 500, but i don't think it's particularly weird or hard to spell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-766135 Tue, 07 May 2013 15:37:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 766135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughters' names fall at the mid 200s and 800s respectively.

Our top girl name isn't even in the top 1000.

Jacobi isn't in the top 1000, but I don't feel it's too "out there" either so I feel you can have a name outside of top 500 that isn't weird but isn't uber popular.</p> <p>My name as well is usually outside top 500 and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-766102 Tue, 07 May 2013 15:24:37 +0000 marionberry 766102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top 5. I'm afraid that a top 500 name wouldn't give you much to choose from that you'd really like. My name was top when I was born and I love it. My baby name is definitely popular but what frustrates me is that I've loved a few names that were super original originally (since no one had them at the time) like Avery...I picked it out for a girl about 15 years ago...and now it's super popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-766076 Tue, 07 May 2013 15:12:17 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 766076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: lovvvve Molly!!!!</p> <p>I'd go unique just because.... it can't be insane though.</p> <p>Eta: I just checked my fav girl name and the name that will most likely be my future daughter's and it is 687!!! It is Mariam. Not unique or hard to pronounce...biblical and Islamic, so I thought it would be higher than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-765989 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:37:45 +0000 kjpugs 765989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top 5. I would prefer unique (like lower top 100 through 200's) but 500 or higher is VERY UNIQUE. I think being the only Eleanor or something growing up in the 80's isn't that bad but having a more made-up/spelled weird name is NOT worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-you-choose-super-popular-or-super-unique/page/2#post-765976 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:32:29 +0000 MrsKoala 765976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with unique but not younique...
