I was so excited about it until a secretary lady came in and took them away from my desk all because it wasn’t meant for me out of confusion, it was meant for another Ashley Miller in the school. I recall having found out one day in middle school that some flowers and balloons were delivered to me “Ashley Miller” for Valentine’s Day from my parents. I would say it would be better to look for a name that isn’t number one in popularity so he/she can have a special name that no other 4 or 38 kids have in the school. I envy the ones who have an awesome name like Jocelyn, Alaina, Morgan, Heidi, Stefan, Rachill, Whitney, Caleigh… etc… There are websites out there with rankings of the most popular names for babies by year. Jessica, Ryan, Michelle, Megan, Ashley, April, Erica, Katie, Kimberly, Jennifer, Amy, Aaron, Michael and Matthew are VERY common names to me, I don’t feel as special with my name either since we call each other by our last names like “yo Matt V come here”. I don’t mind “unique” or “uncommon” names, just as long it does not ridicule the named person. You can guess the kinds of crap she put up with from the drill sergeants with that name. I was also in basic training with a girl named LaVodka. I made sure they all had simple, normal names (although maybe a little too 70’s for this day and age).Īs far as the cruelest names I’ve ever heard go, I went to school with a kid named Benjamin Dover (Ben Dover), there was a woman in a town I used to live in whose name was Ima Pigue (I’m a Piggy), and I used to work for an elderly woman named Verbal Belch (although it was kind of her own fault for marrying a guy with the last name Belch). My kids are named Eric Nicholas Carroll (his second middle name and my maiden name although it’s never used), Ryan Avery and Sara Elisabeth. If you want to name your kid something unusual, save it for the middle name. Think about how that name will affect them (especially going through school). Parents should really think before they name their kids. It sucked because I always got to here what an “unusual” name it is. I still have to use it on all legal documentation because I’ve never had it legally changed. I have used my middle name for years because I hate my first name so much.
