Following from the previous day’s question of the day, we now ask why have traditional names begun to decline and become unused, is it the new fast lifestyle we adopt or is it the way that the world is evolving into a new place?

im not sure, but the trend seems to have been that people become bored with the names, and have begun to use different and more unusal ones - maybe for attention?

I think because they want their kids to be different and unique

just keep one thing in mind...your child will have to learn to spell this unique name and will have to correct the teachers when they get it wrong. nothing wrong with unique names, but i agree with futuremum ...middle is better
