Hm...I don't know. I think terrible names are popular enough presently that when the generation being born right now is school-aged, a McKeinsleigh will probably need to use a last initial in class to not get her confused with the other one(s).

And their kids will have simplest, most common (now uncommon) names like George and Fred and Amy. It's the cycle of life.

I'm pretty proud of my son's name

It's not in the top 30 names for his birth year, but it's in the top 50, and it has a gender-neutral nickname

On the other hand, my friend named their kid a super plain name, and I wasn't very impressed.

McKeinsleigh sounds like a 77 year old grandparent already IMHO.

Why do we have this idea that what 1-2 idiots named a baby is what they have to be called the rest of their lives?

"My name is Dave". Problem solved.

We assume that it's the first fifteen or so years, when you don't even have authority over your own name, are the worst.
