Unusual names in unusual quantities

General Name Discussion

Please forgive me if this has already been talked about - I looked but couldn’t find anything for this topic.

I was wondering - have any of you been in a situation where you come across an unusual name, and then find that same unusual name again not too long after?

I volunteer helping kids moving up from elementary/primary school to settle into “big school”. I was given a class of about 30 kids to look after specifically, out of about 250 kids total in the year. [name_f]Imagine[/name_f] my surprise when I found not one kid called [name_m]Enoch[/name_m] in the class, but TWO! And there was a 3rd one in a different class! Especially because I live rurally… I was like, what the heck, the people in my village are NAME NERDS :smiley:

So yeah - have any of you ever found unusual names in unusual quantities?

There were two girls named [name_f]Princess[/name_f] in one 15-person middle school Mandarin class of mine. The names weren’t exactly unusual, but I had an economics class in which seven different names had two or more people with them in it ([name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_m]Jason[/name_m], [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f], [name_f]Melanie[/name_f], and two others i don’t remember.) I’ve also had classes with two Dayanaras and two Damarises.
