I can not stand cutesy names!!! Imagine a 70 year old "Corey".

My son's name is consistently on top 20 lists and that's ok. It fit him as a newborn and will fit him as an old man. Same with my daughter-she has an oldfashioned name, common spelling. Both names can be shortened to a variety of nicknames(although I personally hate every shortened version) so that they could choose what to be called. But they prefer their full names.
Funny thing, though-I did not choose my daughter's name-I wanted to see her face first, but passed out from exhaustion. Her name was one of 3 I had in mind(all traditional ones, one being my grandmother's)-her father forgot I wanted to see her and gave the name she has to the nurse handling the paperwork. But, it fits her well.
