I think it's because I was named at the tail end of its popularity.Karen M.

I guess these names go in stages. My kids go to school with tons of Michaelas and we have a neighbour named Shyanne. <br /><br />I was in daycare for years so I didn't want to use any name I'd ever come across. Tough decision! We ended up with an Elliott, an Audrey and a Henry. Pretty old fashioned but they're unique because of that. <br /><br />Thanks for the awesome post.

These days if you meet an Angie you can bet she's in the 39-49 age range :) I gave both my boys names that I hoped weren't too popular, but were classic enough to be easily pronounced and spelled and wouldn't be dated. I'm always fascinated to hear the thought process behind people's names for their children!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911208285820220733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-54765452864888795302011-06-29T03:34:24.795-08:002011-06-29T03:34:24.795-08:00My name's fairly traditional- Rachel- but it s...My name's fairly traditional- Rachel- but it still gets mangled quite often. People put in Q sounds! or extend it to be Rachelle and I'm like what the heck is wrong with my name that you have to twist it around.
