Do you prefer unusual or more common names?

Also do you tend to like modern or old fashioned names?

Do you prefer unusual or more common names?
That's hard because a common name in one country may be uncommon in another. For instance, I see British actors with names like Rupert, so I'm thinking that's common there, but it's not in the U.S. unless you're 250 years old.





I like common names, but not trendy names. Like everyone names their daughters Emma or Kaitlyn now.
Reply:I don't mind names that are unusual simply because they are old-fashioned. For example, Elijah or Noah are names which are currently not common in England but would be acceptable. What I can't stand are made-up names or when people name their children after pieces of fruit or New York bridges...
Reply:Unusual and old fashioned. For example, there was a man in the paper yesterday called, Rochus which I thought was a great name. Ebenezer is cool too. I like Welsh names and Latin ones too like from Harry Potter.

But, the meaning of the name is crucial also to me. Unusual and old fashioned names with good meanings.
Reply:I like more common names, unlike these celebrities who torture their kids with names like Apple and Shiloh for example. Not too common like Mary or John though, just something nice
Reply:I personally like older names. Not necessarily Homer or George, but you know.
Reply:I am sick of people naming their kids after states and towns..come on tuscon, lets go to dakotas, and see what memphis is up too. and no little manchester can't go..blah blah blah.
