Very specific poll But how rare is your name?

I can find it on keychains in airports

I’ve been called “little [name]” or “big [name]” in elementary school

I go by a nickname so people won’t confuse me with someone else

People bring up how they know a relative named the same thing

They go “oh! I haven’t heard that name in a long while”

at max people know it from a piece of fiction

“No, that is not how you spell it”

People call me another name that is way more commmon

It is even uncommon if I travel to one of my parent’s country

A person could look me up on insta 2 days after knowing me

My parents gave me an awful spelling like Ehmmah or Kieleigh

I’m bald/my name is in binary/I like buttons/results

“What the fuck? Katherine Silberthau? Jesus, it’s like I don’t even know who she is anymore.” Reed noted that the incident was even worse than the time another of her friends, Chris Willetts, neglected to mention he was a “Jr.” for nearly a year.
