Does anyone else hate 'unique name'

I probably stand alone in this opinion, but I literally hate it when people announce they have chosen a 'unique name' for their little Bundle. Every time I hear the word unique to describe DC name I immediately ask what that name is, and to be fair it's either the same name as hundreds of other kids have, double barrelled with either Mai, Lee or Rose or alternatively it's a normal bloody name spelt differently. If you call you child Charlie, spelling it Charlay doesn't make it unique, it just makes it spelt wrong.
Please tell me I'm not the only one out there who feels like this!

You're not alone it boils my blood too. I was reading a Facebook thread today, Emma's Diary I think it was was about unusual names and someone was saying how unusual and unique their daughters name was and she was soooooo pleased with her choice of uniqueness. The name was Evelyn! It's one of the most popular names out there! Ridiculous
