Do you hear your DC's name everywhere?

Is it because I now have a DD that I notice it more? Three threads on here on her name in the last couple of days. Or is it just that Orla is becoming a popular name. ( I know it always has been in Ireland but have never encountered it where I live). Not complaining about that by the way!

My DS is Joseph and everywhere I go I always hear another fraught mother shouting 'Joseph, will you come here!'

It's not just mine that's a bolter!

Nope, not at all.

Think it's because they are 'different' names.
