[Opinions] Re: People with Top 10 names: how has life treated you?
in reply to a message by erb816
I had an extremely common first name and a common plain surname when I was a child. I hated to find girls with the same name everywhere. I always felt that an unusual name would fit me more.
Later, I became indifferent to my name's popularity. Even in the year I have two other girls with the same name (out of seven) in my class and it also was the teacher's name I found it funny rather than annoying.
After moving to the United States I was glad that my name was rare here but I found it's English pronunciation unappealing, so I changed my name legally.
I removed most popular names from the list for my daughter, but at the same time I like common male names.
