s/o what names do you associate with being MMM names?

I see more things like Charles on here for boys than I do IRL. Stuffy old man names are more popular here. I mean that with love.

Cora, Lucy, Piper. I think you hit it there.

The obsession over the perfect MN is a MMM thing I think too. Everyone I know here uses something basic or after Grandma without much thought.

At least 20 terrible boy names

Per my other post , it seems that Cora and Nora are ridiculously popular in polls around here but I'm not sure that translates into that many actual MMM babies.

lol. I work at a private school and stuffy old man's names and English surmanes as first names are like 99.9% of the population. 

[bowies]

I like the name Paul! Mmmm, Paul Newman.

Ha. I would also say that private school, stuffy old man names and English surnames are about 75% of the caliber of the MMM population as well.  

I totally kid, but somedays it seems like it! After all kid has a 529, Roth, grandma's savings account and a retirement fund set in stone after the first ultrasound.

For boys is Theodore becoming one? I still have it on my list, despite my husband's chipmunk issue.

This is hilarious because my h vetoed it not only for being a chipmunk, but the FAT chipmunk!

NAME NAMES.

Haha. Because we're talking about names.
ha.
ha.

They all run together in my mind, like a class roster from, oh... 1890.  

I googled hipster baby names, so this is a website's top 20 for boys.   These remind me of MMM names.  Of course, I named my kid Owen, and many people are very against anything that is top 50 on the SSA, so what do I know.   

Ike

Kale

Atticus

Elvis

Theo

Otto

Milo

Otis

Hudson

Duke

Edison

Miller

Arlo

Farron

Colton

Dexter

Roscoe

Holden

Beautiful name.

To be fair, 4.5 is practically elderly here

I always see Wren suggested on baby name boards and do not like it at all (apologies in advance)

This was almost DD's name if we hadn't gone with Piper.

LOL, my girls are each middle-named after a grandma. Most babies we know IRL have middle names after a family member, too.

In general I hear Catherine/Katherine/Caroline a lot more on GBCN than in real life.

Disclaimer: I don't really know many kids. Lol

If Hobbes is a girl, we'll be adding to this list, after my mom.

If Hobbes is a boy, we're kind of screwed.  We can agree on NOTHING.

[curbsideprophet]

I agree with Lucy and Cora for the girls and Oliver for the boys.

[sent]

Oh wow, DD's name makes the hipster list. Different spelling though, so maybe not so hipster. Though she does eat quinoa for dinner sometimes so hipster tendencies.

We are a family of no middle names. Everytime a middle name question comes up it goes right over my head.

I feel like I've seen Vivian crop up here more lately? Or maybe I'm confusing it with IRL.

Ahem. Calvin. DH named our Calvin because of his Calvin and Hobbes love.
