I went through all this a few years ago when I was pregnant with Alexzander, but I figure there are lots of new people here with new opinions Now I won't say the name right now (and if you know, please don't share yet), but I want to ask if you would use a name with a stigma attached to it? Would you use the name, Adolf, for example?

A stigma is "an attribute, behavior, or reputation which is socially discrediting in a particular way: it causes an individual to be mentally classified by others in an undesirable, rejected stereotype rather than in an accepted, normal one." So what about a famous name, like Elvis or Ringo? Would you use those? Are they different to ones with a stigma?

What names would you reject on the basis of their fame?

I have a very specific name I like and Aaron isn't so keen on it. This person is very well known in Australia by my generation & those older, I'm not so sure how much younger people know....
