Common last name problem...
| Fri, 08-06-2004 - 3:35pm |
We are TTC #3.
Our last name is Smith, so I've usually been leaning toward more uncommon names, though not way out there either. But a few of my favorites are VERY traditional. I am wondering how awful these are when put with the last name Smith?

See what I mean...
William Smith (I like the nn Will) - after 3 grandfathers...but you end up with Will Smith!
John Smith (I just can't do this...)
Katherine Smith (after grandma) - I LOVE Kate...but Kate Smith? (famous singer...)
Mary Smith? - I love Mary! but this sounds like a joke name to me...
Anna Smith (does anyone else think Anna Nicole? what's worse, my mn is Nicole, so I could really do Anna Nicole Smith...)
Are these as bad as I think they are?

Katherine Smith, even Kate Smith, sound fine to me. John, William, and Mary - I'd have to agree with you - they are a bit common when combined with Smith. But other than being hard-to-find in phone directories, I don't see real disadvantages to having a common first and last combination.
At the same time, I would encourage you to branch out and look around for adventurous names! You never know what you might find.
Best of luck to you!

Some times I wonder why people kept those names. Not that it's bad or anything but my family dumped the can't-prounounce-those-imigrant-names-lets-go-with-the-first-word-we-think-of name after two generations and went back to Genestte. Bet you can't prounounce that or my DH LN either... Vigneault.
We are very French. ;o)

I know it isn't biblical...
even some of the rarer names, there'll be other Smiths, but I would definitely avoid the celebrity ones.
What about William Smith, nn Liam?
Your other sons names are terrific-I am sure you will find an equally unique name for #3!
Caleb, Zion and...What about another Biblical name like Rebecca, Naomi, Ezra?
