I like the name Brittany as much as the next person--well, actually, I don't, considering I think it's just an okay name, and some people--quite a few people--like it enough to name their children that. This past school year, I had six Brittanys in the same grade. And, furthermore, when did people forget the spelling of Brittany? Of those six, only two of them spelled it Brittany, while the other four were Brittney.
What is with the parents who have two children named things like 'Anastasia' and 'Sarah.' Did they just completely give up with Sarah? Sarah. It's a fine name, but it takes absolutely no imagination at all. Do people not understand that names belong in categories? Lee--which is a perfectly fine albeit boring name--does not belong in the same category as Jacqueline. Someone should have told the Bouviers this when they were naming their children.
Why do people think that changing the spelling of Imogine to Imogen somehow makes the name BETTER? It honestly is a mystery to me.
There is absolutely no excuse for authors to write books about people named Sarah and Kate. Again, these are fine names, but there are a million Sarahs and Kates in the world--we don't need more of them in the fictional world. If you are creative enough to write a novel, you are creative enough to come up with some unique names. For the love of God!!
