When we were growing up, if you had a name like Sonata or Sawyer, other kids thought you were weird. But now that the concept of cool permeates the culture, down to children's own ideas about desirability, don't you think kids take unusual names in stride and even admire them? I am wondering more often than not why we don't go more against the grain in naming children. I ask (ed) quite a few naming Q's lately with very cool, unique names. Maisen (Mason -girl's name) Delaney, Colt, Jennings, Ireland, Cecily, Chance, Cash, Stevens (yes, with an 's') all unique... No need to agree that you like them or not, but most of you tend to stick to 'safe' names... Logan, Keegan, Micheal, James, Cole. Why? Do you really feel that our children will not be able to handle or admire a unique name? What do you think?
The world is full of inspiration for cool child-naming. Or are you ready to give your child a plain, solid, and decidedly un-cool name like John (sorry all you John's- my fathers name) ?
