I have thought for a long time that I would name a daughter katina until I met this horrid woman at work with that name. No, I think I would name a daughter emma.
My husband wants to name a son kevin or keith but he has several cousins and uncles with those names so I will probably try to persuade him to go with jacob, jake for short.
I thought at one time when I was much, much younger that I would like to give my child a unique names but I don't want them to hate me if I named them something stupid. I have a friend named cancer, a guy, who has a rather odd relationship with his parents. I have another friend who was named kinzzie but changed her name after she graduated because she had trouble getting a good job.
To me, there's nothing wrong with going with something more traditional sounding.
