I know a family with kids that are named Kobe and Echo. They unschool so there isn't a lot of issues with kids making fun of their names. But Liv has an Isis and a River in her class.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Because books.
Sara has a Lulu in her class, and her older sister's name is Coco, both of which are pretty cute, I think.

Dillo has a Dhanaijah (Duh-NAY-sia, rhymes with Asia) and a Deyanira (Day-uh-NARE-uh), as well as a boy named Tekit which is pronounced Tuh-KEYE-it. Echo at least is reasonably pronounceable...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know a Lulu (5) and a Coco (4) as well. And I grew up babysitting for kids named Bear and Wolf (somehow their sister got away with being named Sonia).
Totally different world from me, growing up with the second or third most popular girl's name in the country. This board is the closest I've ever come to being the only Jessica in the room.

I know a Bear, too, and a family with kids named Griffin and Phoenix. Actually, my old job meant meeting lots and lots of kids with unusual names. None of them ever got mocked for it that I saw, it being a fancy super-liberal private school.

I know that feeling! When I was in elementary school, it seemed like every third girl was an Amy (or a Susan or a Karen).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

*sits in the weirdly-named corner*
Well, weirdly-spelled. I've never met another Holli, though a few Hollys and plenty of Mollys.
ION, I bought $30 worth of vintage dresses at an estate sale this morning, which at $1 each translates to a LOT of dresses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Echo is a fine name as long as the parents aren't Dollhouse fans. Then it gets a little weird.
My thought exactly!
Also, I think kids get picked on if they are going to get picked on -- then the pickers-on choose what to make fun of.
