just saw a note on substack about someone named Hannah meeting someone else named Hannah, who had never met another Hannah before — so I got curious. have you met someone who shares the same name as you, and is your name common? (excluding if you’re named after a family member)
common, have met someone with the same name
common, have not met someone with the same name
somewhat common, have met someone with the same name
somewhat common, have not met someone with the same name
somewhat uncommon, have met someone with the same name
somewhat uncommon, have not met someone with the same name
uncommon, have met someone with the same name
uncommon, have not met someone with the same name
my name is typically a nickname, have met someone with the same name
my name is typically a nickname, have not met someone with the same name
other (ie; changed/chose my name later in life, etc)
One time I introduced myself to someone, she commented that I had an unusual first name which she didn't see all that often.
I told her I didn't think it was that strange; after all, I heard it every day.
