A good story from Sioux City Journal about a woman who named her baby Molly, after the wife of her favorite customer. The article also mentions popular baby names and parents giving their babies distinctive and unique names. And what goes through their minds / the motivation for giving their child unique baby names.
I think unique baby names are fine, just as long as they aren’t too weird! :o)
And some unique names are actually quite pretty. For instance, the name Nevaeh is really pretty. Well, at least in my opinion.
So, I think it’s cool to be creative with baby names, but again, just nothing too weird!
