Why isn't my son's name more popular?

It doesn't even crack the top 1000.

I have heard of 2 other boys in our area with the same name and spelling.

Now that Piers Morgan has his own show I thought for sure DS's name would crack the SSA top 1000.

I don't like Pierce... to harsh sounding... I much prefer Piers rhymes with ears as I like to tell people.

I find the name to be a turn off for some irrational reason. Sorry. Seems rather "girly" or European to me. I doubt you will ever see it as a popular name.

I like it but I think Piers (my hispanic last name) would be odd.

Septimus - Was the reversion back to this name a hint that your family will be growing by one?

If our family grows I'll need a good plaintiffs attorney to sue Mirena and my OB :-)

I like that my sons name isn't too popular. My H thought it would be because it is a character in Narnia but it didn't catch on. I like the idea that most likely there won't be anyone else in his class with the same name.

I love your ds' name. I would consider it if it didn't sound so funny with my last name. I also agree that people are much safer with boys names. I wouldn't consider a top 10 name for dd, but. Wouldn't hesitate to use one with future hypothetical ds. I have no idea why.

I love that name and the rest of your kids' names. Everyone thinks DS' name is unique or formal, but it's just an old and rarely used name. Heck, we got it from a movie and found out later that it had a history/meaning. Ha. We lucked out.

I love Piers/Pierce. DH isn't biting though.

I'm surprised with people really liking anglophile names these days (see eg aidan) that in the search for something more "unique" it hasn't started climbing.

I always wonder the same thing about my name

I like Piers, but don't know any kids with that name. I do know three Pierce/Pearces (including one girl).

There are three Penelopes at my kids' day care.

I like Piers. It's different. But I also went with a name that is not well known. Auden Jerome is my son's name. He will suffer from misspellings his entire life.

I think Piers is still too 'strange' of a name for us Amurcuns.

I'll tell you why we chose Piers....I'm embarassed about the reason :-)

I wanted to name him Peter, DH wanted Patrick. DH and I watched religiously the first Celebrity Apprentice. Piers Morgan was the winner. Piers seemed like a good compromise plus we could pull it off because DH is English.

From now on when anyone wants a male name suggestion I'm going to throw it out there :-)

I don't know, but I do know that I really like it. I actually suggested it to a gf of mine. She said it was too " rich" but then went with Willem lol!
