HelpRe: What Names Do You Consider Low Class?
in reply to a message by mirfak
Meadow is not just pretty to hipsters... wait, am I a hipster? Pretty sure I can't afford to be hip. lol.
I do agree with this though. I don't think the average person is naming their children out of defiance, but rather out of a personal perception of what is valuable, classy or just sounds swell.
I think it's safe to remember that most people just don't do research on names like we namenerds do. They find something that appeals for one reason or another and roll with it.

Well, hipster for lack of a better word. My understanding of what a hipster is, is distorted because I'm in the wrong generation. I mean, the contemporary equivalent of co-opted hippie culture ... Meadow is like Summer circa 1970, or like River circa 1990 ... I dunno. Nature names are hip and Meadow is just about the most over-the-top pastoral image, especially as a name for a city dweller. I don't mean hipster in an insulting way at all.
It's interesting that people "rolling with it" is still resulting in diversification, though - at least some demographics do seem to be consistently looking up names on the internet, and so they kinda do collect info about them more than they used to. Or maybe it's not that ... but where else are they getting new ideas. It's all I can think of.
