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!

DD2 has a pretty unique name. Ok I lie, a work colleague made it up and we loved it, stole it and spelt it in a more obvious way. My former colleague (was well ex work colleague by the time we had DD) still claims copyright Grin. It is a beautiful name.

I don't care what anyone calls their child. Why would anyone?

I have also never encountered someone saying "we have chosen a unique name" Does this happen?
