i know some creative people who had boring names like stacey or crystal or jennifer and changed them when they were in college to prahna, pheonix, and lola.

I think that having a unique or different name does make you stand out a bit. But it doesn`t mean that just because you have a unique name, then you will be unique.... I do think it makes people remember you more as well. My name is `Liza`...growing up I was the only `Liza` in my school & town. And I loved that! Everyone always remembered my name because it was so different from everyone elses!...my sisters name is `Ashley` {VERY common name} and nobody ever remembered what her name was. I do know people that are VERY unique & have a VERY common name...and they hate it!!! Because they are so unique they wish that they had unique names...but on the other hand I know some people that have really `far out there names` & hate it because they are so different. It really just depends on if you raise your child to be unique & creative..and the personality your child has that makes them unique!...but having a `cool` name does help sometims.

I think a name depicts the creativity of the parents, not how unique their child will be. Naming my child was a very important event for me. It took a lot of time and thought. We picked a name that was different, seldom ever heard, but there is nothing wrong with common names either. As a child there were 3 Erica`s in my class one year. I hated it! I could care a less now but at the age of 8...I became the red head erica in the class. LOL. I swore that my child would never have to endure that...and I hope he won`t

I think a unique name just makes you stand out on a piece of paper. Every child is born with their own personality. A name can`t change that.

I have a unique name...not many here in Utah with my name and i don`t think i stood out or anything-i was a shy child. So i would say that it is the childs personality that makes them stand out.

Agree with CassandraLee. I do think that a unique name can stand out more, but the name itself doesn`t make you creative. I`ve known both unique, gorgeous, artistic girls named Jane, as well as typical `plain` Janes. My name is ridiculously common for the year I was born, but I`m not necessarily just like every other Melissa. My daughter will have an uncommon name, but the fact that my husband and I covet the arts and creativity will have more of an effect on how creative our children are, not the name.

i think having a less common name can add to their overall `uniqueness` but yes, most of it depends on the PERSON.

I dont think a name makes you unique at all. Its in WHO you are. I know alot of people who are `unique` but have fairly common names and vise versa. Same with beautiful names. Ive known women with beautiful or exotic sounding names and they were not attractive women.
