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.

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

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

Henry: Come on, Junior.
~~Indiana~~KWJ: Will you please stop calling me Junior?
Sallah: Please, what does this mean? Always with this.. Junior?
Henry: That's his name: Henry Jones, Junior.

~~Indiana~~KWJ: I like.. KitchenAid Whisky Jones.

Henry: We named the dog KITCHENAID WHISKY JONES.

McKeinsleigh sounds like a 77 year old grandparent already IMHO.

Less common names and being unique sucks when you’re a kid trying to fit in.
