I personally won't name my children something to be different, but I'm not against it if people do. I just think people should think more about what other kids could do to make fun of them based on their name, or even what nicknames will come out of them. A woman came into work with her son, Barkley. My given name is Jaclyn, but I haven't been called that since I was 4. In school Jakie was even too long, it was shortened to Jack or Jacks. That poor kid will be called BARK!!!
