Most of our names are classics. Like Elizabeth and James.

I like classic names. Nothing modern or popular.
-
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.
-
I like classic names.
-
I prefer classic, but unique names are fun too.
-
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.
-
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:)
-
We did a unique family name for her first name and then a traditional classic name (Jane) as her middle name
-
I like both
-
I like classic!
-
I like both
-
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
-
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.
-
Classics mostly.
-
I went for classic and unique
-
both... but leaning more toward unique- but not quirky. 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).
-
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
-
My oldest is unique and her little sister is classic. I guess I like both!
-
@sandy: ooh you have me interested!
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!
-
@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
-
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.
-
I like classic names that are unique. 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).
-
I like classic.
-
Classic. Unique=trendy,or hard to pronounce in my town haha
-
Classic.
-
Classic. I don't want anything that wouldn't look good on a resume or as the name of a president
-
I honestly have no preference in type but my husband STRONGLY prefers classic names.
-
I'm a fan of unique but not modern or popular or edgy.
-
@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!!
-
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.
-
Yup, one of each! Although the unique name is several hundred years old anyway.
-
I like classic boys names and unique girls names.
