Baby Names - Child Identity or Child Abuse

Why do parents strive to name their kids something that is unique and different to everyone else. Is there a point where it is to unique and therefore is child abuse. Obviously it isn't that extreme, but maybe we should be thinking of our children's future, at school and at home. Will they be teased for being named apple, DJ or Paris. Some of these names are beautiful but probably not practical.
At the same time, if people (kids included) were a little more sensitive to people's feelings then names, or in another case, looks, wouldn't be a big deal, it would just be an identity.
My wife and i named our so Ezekiel. To some people this name would be a bit weird, but it isn't one we created. We took it from the Old Testament of the bible. It means strength of God.

Check back for better posts in the future. I aim for 1 a week and they will get better.
