My girl's name is a little unusual (as you know). She doesn't know any and neither do I. We shortened it from my husband's grandmother's name, and recently discovered that there are 2 great-whatever's in my family tree with her name. It's a name that will do her well all her life. I tried to give her a name she'll love her name at 20, 40 & even 70...unlike so many trendy names there are out there.<BR/><BR/>I love Amanda, too.

Heather was more popular after I was born, but there were never any other Heathers in my class.

Jennifer and Stephanie - the two most common names when I was growing up. At one point there were 2 of us in my class (of 60) and several in the grades below me. All that to say, I understand your inability to find those personalized doo-dads. = )Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-21030503237099493012008-07-21T12:07:00.000-04:002008-07-21T12:07:00.000-04:00Ha!

My son has an EXTREMELY unusual name, according to the popularity charts, although he actually knows several old men with his name, which changes his perception of it. Instead of being a weird name, it's a name that old guys have.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-79163654557462463232008-07-21T11:19:00.000-04:002008-07-21T11:19:00.000-04:00Considering that you were named at one in the morn...Considering that you were named at one in the morning as we drove to the hospital, I think we did pretty well. Jennifer Renee is better than Kevin Ross (which you were for several months).

Then my husband's good friend at his first job was also dating a Martha at A&M.

I agree that Amanda is a rather "timeless" name.<BR/><BR/>I've never been able to the personalized shoelaces (or mugs or anything else) either, but not because they were snatched up... just because there never were any "Katrinas." NOW my name is well-known, but only because of a natural disaster several years ago.<BR/><BR/>We wanted uncommon (but not weird) names for our boys, and I think we got them. Camden occasionally complains that his name is *too* uncommon, but I'm hoping that as he gets older he appreciates it a little.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I've known lots of Jennifers in my life, but you're my favorite. :)Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.com
