How common is your name, and was it chosen because another was too common?

Giphy

When I was naming my kids, a number of the names we were considering were thrown out because either me or my wife knew someone by that name and our experience with them made using their name awkward. Like they were the smelly kid, they were bullies, had a crush on them ect.

I always wanted to know how many people considered my name as a potential child's name, but eliminated it because of me.

Giphy

I'd want to see my stats compared to all the other sperm I beat to the egg. Like a table comparing our quality of life stats, how long we all would have lived, where we would have settled, how well we would have done. How different our lives were.
