| Pauline, I agree!!
I, myself, have an easy, common, "find a cup in a store" name. My
husband, on the other hand, although his name isn't so uncommon, could
not find anything with his name on it that didn't have little pink
flowers or dolls on it (His name is Leigh).
The names that we have chosen (WELL in advance; we agreed on names
before we were even married) are nice, and easy to find; Deborah and
Robert.
BTW, my aunt's name is Pauline, but everyone calls her Doris. (Go
figure!)

| 574.3 | My son has a common name | FSOA::DHURLEY | Being a mom is fun! | Tue Sep 04 1990 15:47 | 11 |
| I thought about that quite a bit while I was pregnant. My name was
always easy to find, but my sister Shari could never find her name. I
wanted to name my child something different, but not too weird. I
ended up naming my son Shane. He's five weeks old and since he's been
born, I've run into 3 other children with the name Shane. Also, the
day he was born, my mother came to the hospital with a plaque for him
that says "Shane's Room" and my sister brought him one of those street
signs that says "Shane Blvd.". I guess his name is a little more
common than I thought.

| 574.4 | it never mattered to me | 26523::STHILAIRE | the element of surprise | Mon Sep 10 1990 15:32 | 10 |
| I was never able to find my name (Lorna) on anything either
and my mother (Vera) usually couldn't, but we thought it was just
further evidence that we had uncommon names which we liked. My
daughter (Melissa) had no trouble finding her name but that's just a
coincidence. It wouldn't keep me from naming a child an unusual name
that I liked. (Unusual spellings are hard to find - my niece, Tami,
has trouble finding that spelling.)

| 574.5 | A different way of looking at it | GEMVAX::WARREN | | Thu Nov 01 1990 16:52 | 11 |
| When I was growing up, my name (Tracy) was never on names bracelets or
toy license plates either. (Most female Tracy's came along about a
decade--or more--after me.)
Now, I get upset when I hear of someone using my daughters' names
(Caileigh and Paige). I keep checking the "personalized" merchandise
in stores and figure, as long as their names don't show up there, they
aren't "too" popular!
