Not a single one. Never met one

No one that I'm in any kind of regular contact with, though I've come across a handful over the years.

I personally know five... 2 I went to school with.

None

LuluJakey1 · 23/02/2018 23:06

None. I met one years ago.

As a child I never met another person with my name.

As an adult I have met about two, but am linked with a few more on social media.

Met one on a work course years ago, have a distant cousin in Australia with same name but have never met her.There's a very rich one that's sometimes in Hello and there's one I see on tv credits. That's it.

I have known 2, but both 10+ years older. I've never met anyone my age or younger with my name!

I've met three (all in Scotland, it's anglicised Gaelic), but often get emails meant for people of the same name in Australia where I think it's more popular

I’ve never met anyone with my name, or anyone who’s met another person with my name and only 2 or 3 in my entire life that have heard/read it before (it’s from Greek mythology)...

I only know one. My sister's SIL, so my sister's kids have 2 aunts with the same name.

tabular My Daughter has a classic Greek name! They're my favourite!
