I was musing about this today - my DS (4y) came to me and said a boy on a certain CBeebies show had the same name as him, and he was really chuffed about it.
There is a book we read in which DS likes to point out some names in a school that are his and his two cousins' (all names in recent top 10s).
One of my favourite things about The Twits when I was young, was that it was 'For Emma'.
It seems popular these days to search for a unique name and I sort of think it's a shame that people forget the vague affinity you feel when you meet someone with your name. Or is this just me and AIBU? Not a very important one to be fair.

To think unique child names take away some childish delights?
