Help[Opinions] Re: Elowen
in reply to a message by Cece
It's got to not chart at all to be your style? And people think my not wanting to use top 100 is restrictive (though there are names in that range, and even in the top 10, that are certainly still my style)

It's not that its merely popular or becoming popular. It's that a name that charts all of a sudden out of nowhere is usually part of a "trend" rather than a true classic, and is likely to feel dated once the fad passes. Give me all the popular classic names such as Samuel, Luke, Alexander, Amelia, Elizabeth, Rose that are all very highly ranked but I do not want a trendy name that will date my child and Elowen feels very much the latter. That's just my personal opinion, no one is harmed by a trendy name they just aren't for me.
