Do you have siblings? I do, I have three.
If I were to even think about using a name that they had used, or was close to one they had used, WWII would start. Names are personal, and name stealing is hurtful. They chose that name for their child, its a name they love, and they want it to be unique, at least in their own family.
My brothers have stayed away from
Katherine just because they know that I plan on using it, along with
Leonard.
