Help[Opinions] Re: Scarlett
in reply to a message by Elinor
I don't think it will loose its edginess- I don't know why we are so obsessed with our children never meeting another child with the same name. Why does a name become disliked just because many start to like it? There are plenty of names that experience surges because of pop-culture- I don't think this makes them bad names. I also think more people notice when names such as Scarlett rise in popularity because they are interesting and memorable names-
just my opinion:)
edited: I also don't know why a name that is #297 on the SSA list is considered over-used and trendy- Yes it has gone up on the list but a child with this name is unlikely to meet another- it's not even top 100.

IMO - It's not that I wouldn't want them to never meet another XXXX, but that they are individual enough to not be called by their first name only. When I was growing up, I was the only Olivia in the whole school/town (hard to imagine now, i know). But I liked having a recognizable, but individual name. I knew that if I heard my name being called in a grocery store, it was for me. I'm sad that is no longer the case.
I know that some people like having a common and strong name. But that is not what i like.
