Passing on family names is one reason or using Biblical names is another. I had my grandfather's name, and it was a source of pride for me.
Curious why it bothers you so much? It just makes your little snowflakes stand out that much more.
If someone is looking at my child's name down the road on a resume and the name is unique to a lower socioeconomic class, that is probably going to bring baggage with it. Similarly if the child has a unique, snowflaky name like Apple, Zuma or Blue Ivy on their resume, my first unconscious thought was that this person is going to be a diva to work with, as their parents probably raised their children like they are the center of the universe.
There are good reasons to give your kids "boring" names.

I want my child to easily be able to find his/her name on personalized items at a gift shop.
And I would want them to be set up to have a more successful life. Nobody is gonna take Jaxon seriously in the business world.
Also....cause those names are trashy as frick

Since 1880, a total of 2,237 boys have been given the name Harper while 19,322 girls were named Harper.
ETA: Just looked it up. There were 21,116 Harpers born last year in the US alone

Yeah, people are upset that employers judge applicants based on names, but it's a reality. Prepare accordingly.

Biblical names always seemed like a weird term. Ephraim would be a biblical name but a name like Donald wouldn't, right?

I don't recall a Donald in the Bible, so no. Why is that a weird term? Either it's a name in the Bible or it's not

I feel like Biblical names would include names not necessarily in the bible but common to European cultures. Hence Alexander and Frederick. Hence it includes names not in the bible.

Hence would be a lovely name for our 3rd child

I told you I wanted to name our 3rd child Xerxes, in case they become trans and want to scissor some people.
Our fourth can be named Henceforf, shortened to Hence.

I don't know where you get that impression, but that is not correct. Maybe because many families have some children with Biblical names, and others with common names?
If its in the Bible, it's a Biblical name. That is the one and only condition.

I think we're going to spell it Hynce

Well, it’s probably the same folks who struggle with there, their, and they’re.
Posted on 11/29/18 at 4:00 pm to CivilTiger83
Of course. I'm going to name my kid Aceldama, since that would be a name (of a place) in the Bible.

Hynce seems short for Hymen, even though they are the same length. Hymen sounds like a great name for an accountant. Hymen Looseleaf bin Montoya de Tobaccowala.

A world who get irritated at the name John or David or Charles.
