I guess a lot of people who grew up listening to Journey would now be of child-bearing age. I liked the band myself but would never consider it for a child's name!

It's an interesting name, though I'd never use it. Much as I love the band (no sarcasm here, I really do), I don't feel the urge to name a child after them--and everyone would assume I did if I used it!

---

I assume that a combination of the band's popularity and the unwashed masses' growing interest in word names is how it started up.

I'd like to leave the world as a better place.

Actually I do.

She was named for the band Journey, which I bet you is how a lot of the first Journeys of my generation were named. :-) I like it, though, when I put the band out of my mind. It sounds kind of hippy-ish to me but still tasteful and maybe thoughtful enough that I don't think it's ridiculous.

I know a lady who named her daughters Destiny and Journey! I like the name and I consider it a virtue name, like Grace or Hope, as it sort of reprisents the journey that all of us are taking on life's road! :)

I like the sounding of it, and I suppose more parents would name their children Journey, if it wasn't a word, but just a name.

Journey means simply Journey. Who knows how it got to the top 1000 (though once you pass 200, it counts for a small portion of the population and a name that is, say, 789 or whatever would be like 2000 people) - maybe the parents felt having a child was a tremendous Journey. At least they didn't name them Destination!

I've never met anyone with that name personally though I've heard of it.

I love the name Journey, I don't know where it came from, how it started but it's one of my faves, it's goergous.

Ew! That's horrible! Who would do that to their poor child?
