HOLY CARP!!!

Pfft. You want unique, do what my parents did and give your kid a name that's never made the top100 - and then use a rare spelling, at that. When I was a kid, I was so pissed, I could never find a little personalized license plate for my bicycle in the stores. I suppose I shouldn't complain - Mrs Dewey had a foreign student named Sh!thead - pronounced "Shuh - THEED". |

My kid's name hasn't been in the top 1000 for 50 years, and never breached 400 in the 120 years that the SSA has data. We ruled out a few names we liked because they were getting too common, not to say trendy. |

If/when I have kids, they will have relatively normal names. Thomas, Stephen, Laura, Abigail, etc. Although I always did want to name my kid Calvin or Hobbes. |
