First of all, unique is not really applicable to Adelaide Marguerite or Phoenix Sunrise because I am sure those names have been used before.

This is the fear that gets people pigeonholed into using the same basic set of names. It is more the case with boys than with girls from what I have seen because, for some reason, parents are very concerned about the fraternal acceptance of their boys in society's narrow view of what is "masculine".
I think every child is different. I didn't meet one other Caroline until I was in high school and I loved having a name not shared with other classmates. If you named a daughter Betty Jean she could love it or hate it. If you name a daughter Madison she may resent being one of seven in her class, you can't really determine a child's opinion of his/her name.
