Oh, and I'm not really sure about my favourite names, I think I'll leave that 'till I have to name my own kids.
Any name that doesn't sound like a kind of Pok�mon. Short, easy-to-spell names are more practical, to be honest, than 'Jeremiah' or 'Ferdinand', and it will avoid a lifetime of 'How many 'P's in that?' and 'With a 'J' or a 'Y'?' Not that it matters a great deal, that is.
There is also a clump of (I am led to believe) 'new' names that I just wouldn't have the nerve to give to a child, such as 'Sierra' or 'Butterfly'. You might as well name your kids 'Fruitloop' and 'Beansprout'. I prefer the surreal names to be given to things like buildings or cat toys - you know, things that don't exactly mind - I can't think what my favourites would be, though.

People's favorite names often seem to be anything ending in an 'ee' sound; Britney, Julie, Cathy, Emily, Ashley, Stephanie, Hayley, Melanie, etc; even names that don't have an 'ee' sound become shortened to ones that do; William / Billy, Thomas / Tommy, Elizabeth / Betty, Susan / Susie.. I wonder why..
Having a particularly unique name myself (I haven't found anyone with my name, anywhere in the world!) I'd say that having a different name is definitely a good thing. It's a brilliant point of conversation especially since I know the historic significance of my name. It's not a problem spelling it out for people - I've done it all my life. And if someone pronounces it incorrectly, I just set them straight. I'd feel pretty ordinary and just one-of-the-crowd if I had a common name.

Mitchell and Jake for a boy, Stevi & Jade for a girl {which is what daughter is christened. Troube is everyone put a second e on th eend which ticks her off. I think It's nice to give the children a name they can "do" something with eg Michael can become, Mick, Micky, Mike etc whereas I'm stuck with Paul shorty of P or Pauly {both of which I dread] I can't do anything to it. My parents gave it to me [apart from it's biblical origins - they're both avid churchgoers] they wanted a name that no-one could customise [a bit unfair I reckon] Anushika what's with awarding stars to yourself?? Have you calmed down yet? ;+0))
