[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 727120, member: 3493"] There are many Jakes, Harrys (and I anticipate more with what is going on across the pond) and Maxes, but to me they are old men names. My grandfathers, my dad, my uncles, all have names like that. Only one of my sons has an Old Testament name and that is after my only uncle who had a name I like. I absolutely love my first name but despise my middle name. My kids don't even know what it is. My sister was the opposite - hated her first name and switched to her middle name in middle school. Fortunately, all of my kids like their names. Difficult Child did drop his middle name and only uses his initial but the rest are cool with first, middle and Hebrew names. All of my kids have names which are common enough that nobody would say that the heck kind of name is that, but no so common that they are over used, and I admit to being sort of surprised when I saw one son's name on a recent list of trendy boy names. All of their names are spelled traditionally, except for one which is spelled in the European variant as it's a family name on H's side. The spelling of my first name is an alternate one but I have come to prefer it. I don't know if my D will change her name if she marries. I don't really like how her current boyfriend's last name sounds with her first name. I use my maiden name for work but H's name for my personal life. I also really hate inventive spellings and ridiculous names like the ones celebrities give their kids - Inspector Pilot, North, Saint and now Chicago West, Ziggy, Iggy, WHY? I remember Grace Slick named her daughter Oil at first but then changed it to Jade. [/QUOTE]
