my parents chose my name on purpose, because they said it was in the second half of the top 100, which they thought was a sweet spot for popularity. (except that it wasn’t in the second half of the top 100 it was actually just outside the top 500 and they were running on data from a different country (having recently moved). also, somewhat unrelatedly, my name wasn’t actually in the top 100 there, either (though it was closer! my name made it to the top 100 in their country six years after i was born). my name has never been in the top 100. but they tried!)
