Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a unique name is too unusual?
The sweet spot is a name that's easy to pronounce and spell but not in the top 100. If a stranger can read it aloud correctly on the first try, it's probably not too unusual. If you have to spell it every time, consider a more intuitive spelling.
Will my child be teased for having an unusual name?
Research shows that name-based teasing has decreased significantly as name diversity has increased. Today's classrooms are full of unique names. The risk of teasing is much lower than it was a generation ago.
