In 2008 I moved to the US, and people think I'm 80 years old until they meet me. My mother nearly called me Elspeth but decided it might be too old fashioned.

I didn't mind it either way (popular/non-popular). I did always know when a teacher would come upon my name when reading the attendance...a big pause...and then mispronounce it ;) I still automatically spell out my name when someone asks me for it. :) JustBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671718809120548414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-77312261494919821402017-01-06T19:20:57.162-08:002017-01-06T19:20:57.162-08:00Love a literary reference.

Such a great name. If you had grown up in the US, I think you would have been the only Lucy most of the time. I don't feel it's very popular here. So interesting! Silvia's name is beautiful - and very unique.

And one of my best friends growing up was named Jessica! ;)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836394671525240199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-14305975984982984672017-01-06T13:03:14.679-08:002017-01-06T13:03:14.679-08:00I love that you're still so into your daughter...I love that you're still so into your daughter's name! And so interesting that you won't recycle the names. We wrote down Coco's and Theo's names on the paperwork in the hospital when she was born because we didn't know the gender. Totally used the unused name on round two! ;)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836394671525240199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-88827791389008340232017-01-06T11:44:12.638-08:002017-01-06T11:44:12.638-08:00I like my first name but am so so glad my parents ...I like my first name but am so so glad my parents picked it over my middle name, which I dislike for no good reason really! But as Jessica says, being a Lucy in the late 80s early 90s meant being Lucy S as there were always others in my classes. No danger of that for my little Silvia! I still love her name so much, very intensely. I don't feel as strongly about names for our second- but with her I almost knew before I was pregnant we would have a daughter called Silvia Marianne ��Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055933067531932715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-79591633601119846672017-01-05T07:28:15.401-08:002017-01-05T07:28:15.401-08:00My name is Jessica, and I was born in 1980. NO ON...My name is Jessica, and I was born in 1980. NO ONE was named Jessica before 1980, and then, BAM, the 80s happened. I haaaaated it growing up. I hated that I always had to have my last initial stuck to my name because there was always another Jessica in my class. As an adult, I'm more at peace with it, but that hate did affect how we named our first two children (and how we'll name our third). Case in point: I love the name Jack but flat out REFUSED to name my son Jack because it's so popular!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117744797395831291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-3777743061156021012017-01-04T16:42:29.651-08:002017-01-04T16:42:29.651-08:00I actually love my name (Amanda Jane) as well and ...I actually love my name (Amanda Jane) as well and felt very pressured to find a great name for my first child! Amanda was not very popular in the late 70's - early 80's and I liked having an uncommon name. We named our daughter Daphne Marigold and we felt like it was unusual but still soft and feminine. We honestly are obsessed with her name! ;D We did not know what we were having so we had boy names selected too. Our other choice for a girl was Imogen. We won't be recycling names for baby number two. I just felt like those names were for Daphne and are sort of 'hers'? Weird, I know. So we are starting over from scratch! But your original question - do I love my name. Yes, I do! Good job Mom and Dad! They named my brother Larry so I lucked out LOL! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
