  But I don't like names that are suddenly too common/faddish. Chloe, to me, is one of them.
  
  

  sigh.... i think naming a kid is a very tough job.
  Give it too common a name, it becomes plain...
  too unique a name. not sure if most will know how to pronounce
  And also have to make sure it goes well with the surname.
  
  Think what i'll do is put all my favourite names on a dart board...

  i think names don't have to be very unique leh.. i think many parents want unique names, that's why lots of wierd names..
  
  i think it's the process of selecting the names and the meaning behind it that matters =)

  and also must be readable by the mass..... else the version might change as people have different way of pronounciing english words .

  my idea of a good name is as follows:
  
  good meaning
  goes with the surname
  easily pronounced, ie not mispronounced often
  don't need to be very unique, but yet not too common that most of my frens/their kids share the same name
  
  am i too picky ?
