Names that are common now may one day be considered strange in 50 years. and names that are strange now could be considered common place in that same time.
Take the name Constance, for example. in the 1800s it was a very common name for females, but now, if you named your daughter Constance, people would think you odd.
who knows, maybe in 50-100 years Moxie will be a fairly common girls name.   See 2 other replies

That's not what he was talking about. You gave your daughter a "cool name" because you're insecure about yourself. As shakespeare says, "a rose by any other name..." etc. Either your daughter is worth talking about or not. Kids at school will talk about her no matter what. You're the most pathetic display of ego that I've ever fathomed. Self-esteem booster? Instead of using that term, why don't you insert "integrity dissolver." "But hey, that's not the goal - it's just a cool name."Leave it up to a moron to think that the most tangible form of someone's identity is something to be used as a social slant. When she gets knocked up at 15, let me know how proud you are that people have an opening like, "hey babe, you've got a cool name!" Tell me how proud you are when she doesn't even know which one of those guys is the father. Oh. And congratulations on inserting your stupid daughter into a discussion. EVERYTHING you said was out of context, so, I am only educated in guessing that you're talking about your daughter's name, which you didn't even mention as an ambiguous first name, because you yourself are feeling ridiculous in dubbing your offspring with such a ridiculous name. Maybe next time, to avoid this, you should bring it up when it's in context. Otherwise, keep your daughter out of it. She might even thank you for it later.   See 2 other replies
