You're stepping up to speak for an awful lot of people. I'm not sure on what basis you think you can make the claim that "most" kids would rather have "boring" names. I have four kids, and I know lots of kids, and I certainly don't think "most" of them would prefer "boring" names. Several of the teens I know are notably, vocally irritated that they got "boring" names. I know a young Tracy Ann, for only one example, who tells me every time I see her that "I wish my mom had come up with a cool name like Scarlett for me."

I think Zephyrine and Indigo have way, way more character than Grant and Bailey. If I could have named myself and had to choose between Zephyrine and Bailey, I can promise you Bailey would be out the window. Ick.
