i know exactly what all of you mean. when my mom named me, there weren't many Brittany's where i live, but now, there are 5 in my graduating class... talk about common right?

I agree every girl in class is named Brittany..but I spell mines differently..it's Brittni..in school no one spelled it right..but i loved it because it always stood out from all the others..

When my MOm was naming all my siblings she TRIED to pick names that were not common. But listen, there names are Jason, Joshua, Brittany, Josiah [which she did good on!] Bailey [which is becoming more common every day, and will probably be popular by the time she is in junior high!] and Brenna, which is fairly unique, but also growing. When I have children, I will name them names that are popular then, and by the time they are grown, it will no longer be common!

i don't know alot of brittany's and the ones i do know they spell it different. my parents named me after alvan and the chickmunks girlfriend. i suggest not to name your child after a cartoon character. i feel that there's no meaning! but keep up with the name i love the name and i respect it!

I think Brittany is a beautiful name. I like it spelled just the way it is. My name is Brittany-Merry. Just a first name. I think it is beautiful because it is two common names linked together to form a unique name. Try it!

in a few years brittany will be cool again, but it does sort of stink for us born in the 1990's but

I looked at my mom one day and said I'm changing my name and she walked out she didn't even ask. I hate what britney speirs has done she killed the name and now my friends CAN'T call me brittany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when ever someone called me speris I want to die!

I like that my name is Brittany T-T-A-N-Y. I was actually the only Brittany in my classes growing up. It didn't become so common until the early 90s, so I just squeaked by with an original name. I agree that having someone famous with the same name, especially if that someone is constantly in the press for doing something stupid, can taint the name, but as long as no one calls me "Spears" I will be ok. I actually reconsidered going on a date with a guy because his last name was Spears. My friends didn't let up on that for months....

my mom let my real dad talk her into naming me brittany. honestly.... it IS way too common and too many other things come with the name brittany
ie britney spears and a brittany spaniel for god sake!! dont name your kid the same as a dog-- its really embarrassing

i love my name even though everyone calls me britney spears

I named my youngest Brittany Abigail in '03 when she was born. I feel it is a beautiful, feminine yet strong name (just as I do my oldest daughter's name, Brooke Alexandria), and it suits her to "T". I don't find it as common as posted here, though we do live in a smaller city in Canada. Also, having been "blessed" with a very unique name myself (At 32, I have yet to personally meet another person with my name), I consciously chose not to bestow the same experiences an uncommon name could bring on my baby girl. Anyways, I love this name, and I have never regretted choosing it.

I knew Brittany was a popular name in the 1990s. I just always thought it was such a beautiful name. So when we had our second daughter, the name Brittany was tops on our list. But, we were worried about the entire Britney Spears thing. We decided we loved the name too much not to name our daughter Brittany and we are still hoping Britney Spears fades from the limelight! Brittany is definently not as popular as it used to be. We know no other Brittany's who are our daughter's age (she is now 5).

i know what you all mean, the name brittany is over used. i still love my name, but i just wish people would stop ,making the hole " britney spears jokes.." like i wanted a hair cut and everyone said why dont you save it its the new things for the brittanys'.. like get over it.
i get all the jokes & its drives me crazy yet i still love the name ha

I really love my name. Bretney. I was named after my uncle Bret and I haven't ever met annother Bretney. I used to get SO SO SO frustrated with people who confuse me with BRITTANY or call me Brittany Spears. And I believe that Brittany was getting all too common and so I decided to go by my middle name, Nicole. Sadly, latley Nicole or Nikki is becoming WAY to popular. AHH!!

This is my name and though I used to get annoyed by it when I was younger, I have actually grown to like it now. It is a very elegant name especially written in cursive!

My graduation class had a total of 34 Brittany/Britany/Britney/Brittney/Brittani/Brittannee's . OH, and I live in West Virginia! It's seriously overused and I can't wait to name my kids something unpopular and severely unique.
