HelpRe: Short trip into Non-Name-Nerd-Land
in reply to a message by queenv
I do like Riley for a girl but I would spell it Rylie. I compare picking a name of a child to picking a color for a house. It is beyond me why everybody wants a white house? Give me green, blue, yellow, maroon etc. etc. For some, Riley is the ultimate beautiful name and for others it is Seraphina, Gabriella, Leanitra. To each her own, some people don't want their children's names to excessively stand out and that is okay.

But this woman said that she does want a name that excessively stands out. Not in those words, but the meaning was the same. It wasn't the name choice itself that made me inwardly groan (though I'm certainly not a big fan of Riley), but the faulty reasoning behind it. And if that weren't important to her, then she wouldn't refuse to look at the SSA list. Though that refusal is also based upon some very faulty logic---"If I don't see it, then it doesn't exist."
