As someone who works in education… please name your child uniquely. Imagine having to search through thousands of Ashleys or Rivers 💀

As someone who works in education: name them uniquely as in pick a family name or one with significance, do NOT pick the trending name of the year. Bc if I see one more Tragediegh name I’m going to lose it

honestly when kids have the same name I start calling a few by their last names if they don’t mind it 🤷‍♀️

I’m thinking about names for when I have children. For boy names, I’m thinking Victor, Robert, Ralph, and Buck.

I have a unique name (not suuuper rare or even weird but it’s a very small chance anyone you’ve met has it type deal). And ofc the one time I ever went to school with someone with the same name, where usually people put their last initials to differentiate themselves, they had the same first letter of their last name as me. Very silly indeed
