THANKS!
Reply:I did avoid certain names when deciding on names for my baby. If I knew someone and did not like them...no way was I naming my child that! Any names close in my family I would avoid, unless i wanted to name my child after them i would avoid. I also avoided overused names. I liked Ava a lot but when I saw it was number one name in 2007 i changed my mind.
Reply:we totally avoid certain names when we are trying to decide. i refuse to use the modern, made-up sounding names, as well as trendy names. if i hear mackenzie or maddison one more time i might scream! yuck! my husband refuses to use names that he has a bad association with....so if he knew a jerk named mark, we can't use it!
Reply:i would never ever name my kid after a celebrity, or name them something stupid and meaningless like some of them (ie Apple, coco) personally i name mine names with religious significance, because thats what matters to me.
