Ive met so many people named...

Is there any names youve met a lot of people with? Or any that youve only met a few of, but it seemed like such an unique name it surprised you?

Mine:
[name_m]Ive[/name_m] met so many people named;

I’ve also met a couple guys name [name_m]Remington[/name_m], which might not be strange somewhere else, but where I live its pretty unique. And I’ve met a couple girls named [name_f]Yamilex[/name_f]

The common ones I see are pretty typical:

[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
ashley
kelsey (male and female)
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
michelle
[name_f]Karen[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f]

I also know three Athenas, several Cassandras and I feel like every other newborn boy I hear of is named [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] or just [name_m]Jax[/name_m].

Also know lots of women with the middle name [name_u]Ray[/name_u]/[name_u]Rae[/name_u].

[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]/[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]

I know a lot of people named [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], [name_m]Adrian[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Stacey[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]/Sharlotte, [name_f]Christina[/name_f].
There are also a lot of Ang’s at my current work, [name_f]Angelique[/name_f], [name_f]Angela[/name_f], [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] and an [name_u]Angel[/name_u].

I’ve never met an [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]/[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

My age the most popular names were [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]/[name_u]Abby[/name_u]/[name_f]Abbi[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Becky[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for girls and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]/[name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]/[name_m]Tom[/name_m] for boys.

Most of these seem so boring to me I cant see why anyone would use them on a newborn now. Especially [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], which I find far too overused.

I find it really strange but also quite fun that now its all [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Lacey[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_u]Mason[/name_u], etc.
