Re: Why..

I like Micaiah. It's not one of my favorites, but it's still nice. I prefer Micah though. Maybe people dislike Micaiah because it sounds a lot like Mikayla? I'm not really liking Abner Micaiah though. It's too biblical, and Abner is well...awful.

How many times on here in the past eight years have I started to love a name that was deemed awful by other posters, only to have it gradually increase in popularity and popular acceptance to the point where I have to uncover more dusty old gems? You've been one of my biggest naysayers, and for years were averse to Isaac, calling that an awful old man name, as I recall.I've been a trendsetter my whole life in every arena, and believe me, Abner is both daring and attractive.Same old, same old story. It's okay, though. :)

Umm..
You can choose whatever names you like.
I haven't been one of your biggest "naysayers" either, I actually like/love a lot of the names you do. And I don't recall ever saying that Isaac is an awful old man name. My best friend has a brother named Isaac and I've always liked it, ever since I was a kid. Make sure that you know what you're talking about, Brandon. EDIT:
I'm making a point here. I liked Isaac back in February 2012 (which is as far as I could dig through the archives) as you can see here: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4226364

Why do you "have to" uncover more dusty old gems when the previous dusty old gems increase in popularity and popular acceptance? Do you love certain names because you really love them or because you have to be a trendsetter?
