@jmarionsmith: This! We also have a very common last name. On top of that DH has the most popular name of his birth year. He hates it and refuses to give his kids common name. Everyone in is family is perpetually hounded by debt collectors trying to track down other people by their names.
On the other hand, I have an uncommon last first name and maiden name. I felt like I kept my identity when I got married and took DH's name (not that I had to). I have five friends named Jessica that got married in the last few years. I cannot keep them straight with their new names. That convinced me that I want an uncommon name for a girl.

@Adira: & @mfa_lady: Alexander is a family name here too! So classic and solid (even more solid since we're Russian...classic Russian name). I was a little sad when my brother used it for his son's middle name. Though I can't imagine our LO with any other name but his own.

@Corduroy: never even considers the bit about how it changes even more for women! Such a good point.
@2PeasinaPod: Alexanders unite!!

i guess we're just drawn to unique names. my husband has a name where people know immediately who someone is talking about if they say his name and my name is a super popular name where i went by my last name a lot!
