Everyone has names, all 7.9 billion of us – and they all mean different things to people, even if it's something common. It's exciting to think that, at one point, our folks decided to sit together and go through all the possible options that they found appealing, before settling on the one that they thought would fit our story.

it's understandable that each parent wants the absolute best for their child. You want them to have a fulfilling life, filled with amazing memories and great success. Incidentally, some might think that the name will mysteriously affect their offspring's future, so they make it their top priority to come up with something meaningful and maybe even unusual.

Every generation had a certain set of names that was quite popular and up until a decade ago, it wasn't uncommon to encounter a few peers with the same one as yours. Whether it was a playground, a school or your workplace – there were always a few Davids and Sarahs around.

Who knows, maybe back then folks weren't bothered by the popularity of their baby's name and the only thing that mattered to them was that it wouldn't get their offspring in trouble with their mates. Mockery and bullying could seriously mess with a young person's mind, and who wants their child to go through all this trouble?

Sadly, kids don't have any filter. Little ones will say everything that comes to their minds and they won't think twice about it. This type of behavior could be blamed on multiple things: a lack of discipline, a simple thought outburst that often happens at their age – whatever it might be, chances are your child will still get bullied. As we all know, looks play a crucial role when it comes to bullying since commenting on someone's appearance is considered to be a norm even when you hit 40, but having a wacky name also messes with the way your peers perceive you.

Having an odd name could lead to some unpleasant issues, for instance, offensive nicknames. And when a problem of a similar character occurs, it's extremely hard to get folks to view you as you, and not as the nickname you've been given. When you're young, you don't have the time to think about how uniqueness will conquer the world someday, all you care about is fitting in, and preferably with the popular folks.
