I'd never want to give my child a name that was too "out-there" or too normal or plain. Names like Bill, Mary, Jim, Jane, and Sally come to mind in the too plain category, and names like Jessica, Hayley, Sean, Dylan and Jennifer seem to be a dime a dozen. My family has quite a few old-fashioned names - Margaret and Elwood spring to mind - and I don't think I could name a child that, either.
I want a unique name, but nothing too unique. I personally like Megra for a girl, but that might be bordering the line between nicely creative and too creative.;
