You're fine. I've responded to quite a few posts (I got sucked into checking responses the past two days ahhh) that yes I didn't research. I am a naming novice you could say! I assumed names like
Liam,
Max and
Jack were so popular. However, I've learned those names are just popular in my area. I've never met another baby
Noah. However I've already met 3 baby Jacks!
Noah doesn't seem to be very popular where I live, so I guess thats a plus. I find girls names so much easier to pick as far as being unqiue vs boy names. My girl name isn't even on the top 1000! :)
