Hellobee Boards

I am a Jennifer in the vast sea of Jennifers born in the early to mid 80's.

@mrbee: Thanks! I am actually the only Jennifer at my place of work right now, for the first time in my life.

I'm Kristan - with an "a." I've never really had an issue with a fact that I always have to spell it for people, or that people always assume it must be with an "e" or an "i." I also like that the name itself isn't too common. I've only ever met one other person who spells their name with an "a" - I actually went to school with her!

Mine is Charlene which I think of as a common name. Although many people throughout the years have commented that it's an uncommon name!

I put "other" because my name isn't unusual but it isn't necessarily common. It's an old lady name, I think.

Susan spelled Susan. Woot!

Unusual...so unusual, if I posted it here, and someone IRL saw it, they'd know it was me. I don't think anyone else has it.

I voted that I have an unusual that is unusual. It is a real name but not common at all! I love it Though people do have a tendency to spell it wrong and confuse it with another (popular) name that isn't really similar at all.

@Leialou: I've been pronouncing your name incorrectly in my mind all this time!! I thought it rhymed with Donna!

@MsMamaBear: now you have me so curious

Mine is pretty unusual, but it's not "weird", I get comments on it all the time that it's s beautiful name. I love my name and definitely would never change it. There are a few different ways to spell it but it's one if those names where one spelling isn't necessarily more common. I usually spell it out of habit so people don't have to ask. But I love having a different name. I think I have met only about 5-10 people in my life with my name.

I'm a Sarah born in the mid-80s...there were 3 of us just in my group of high school friends.

I voted usual name that's unusual, but it's just a not-so-common name that's spelled in the common way.

Common name here spelled the common way. Same for my Los.

I have a sort of unusual name, but it’s just a name (i.e., not a word like Apple, River or Brooklyn), and I don’t think it’s a very weird name. It’s just not a very common name. It’s constantly confused with the male version of the name, so it’s generally mispronounced and misspelled when people first meet me, or read my name aloud (so, so annoying). LO’s name will be straight forward and easy to spell – in a non kreatyve way.

I'm an Ashley born in 1984. Super common and the most common spelling too. My husband has a pretty common name too - Alex.

My "American nickname" is a common name (Annie), but my Vietnamese name is an uncommon name with an uncommon spelling. There's another girls' name that is very similar, but has a different meaning and spelling.

I voted other as my name isn't common but it isn't unusual either.

Jessie, pretty common, however at the time being a "just jessie' was very uncommon in a decade that Jessica ruled the world. I love it , but growing up I hated having a nickname where teachers would just assume my fullname was jessica.

I was announced at both college graduations by the wrong name, I guess Jessie is just too weird for some people to understand as a stand alone name!
