<div style="font-style:italic;">I disagree. There are only 10 names in the top ten, so if she really is choosing <i>from</i> them and not just picking one of her favorites that <i>happens</i> to be <i>among</i> them, then that's a little different than thinking up an unusual name that you love, b/c there are literally thousands of names to pick from (or you could make it up...)<br><br>
However, I can't really fault her. It was important to me to pick a fairly unique name. Doesn't mean I don't love that name. I can see how, for some people, it's important to have a name that will be readily accepted and likely loved by lots of people. Either way, people pick names they like. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with being swayed by how common or uncommon it is.</div>

Sounded to me like (from what the OP said) she chose from the top 10 names, not just "oh, look, it's in the top 10, too." But, I still think that there are 1000s of beautiful names that don't fall on the top 10 list.
