When choosing my son's name I had two rules:

  1. No super popular top 10 or 20 name. There were plenty of very popular choices that I liked as names. But, I figured let's try to find something at least a little unique for various reasons.

However!

  1. They shall not need to spell their name every time they tell it to somebody. This implies a few things, like choosing an established first name people have heard before rather than making something up, and using the common spelling of that name.

This seems rational and thoughtful.

Thanks! That's usually what I'm going for.
