Common as in well used

I would say fairly common

Fairly common but described as ‘classic’ on baby naming threads.
Personally I’d love to have a really unusual but not bonkers name.

MojoJojo71 · 27/09/2020 15:00

Very common for women born in the same decade but rarely used now

Savemyusername · 27/09/2020 15:01

Not common although there were three of us at my last place of work.

dementedma · 27/09/2020 15:04

Same as Mojo. Popular in the 60s.

NotExactlyMrsCurrentAffairs · 27/09/2020 15:04

Mine's both, a common name with an uncommon spelling

Margotshypotheticaldog · 27/09/2020 15:05

Uncommon. And it's actually not Margot Wink

CormoranStrike · 27/09/2020 15:05

Very common for the sixties, rarely used now.

Lavendersy · 27/09/2020 15:07

Uncommon. I've only met one person with the same name. I love it!

Quizeerascal · 27/09/2020 15:07

For my generation fairly uncommon, overall quite common (I'm not sure I've ever met someone with my name who is younger than me)

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 27/09/2020 15:08

I never seem to meet many but its a classic name (think Sophie, Charlotte, Laura type names) and has been top 10 for eons.

rhowton · 27/09/2020 15:09

Common. There were 5 in my year of 50 and I was born in 1989. My middle name is one of two that every girl was given.

legalseagull · 27/09/2020 15:10

It's considered 'normal' as in it's an actual name, but it's uncommon. I've only ever met one other. It's wayyy down in the 400's for popularity ratings

FourTeaFallOut · 27/09/2020 15:10

You couldn't swing a neon bum bag in my classroom without hitting several other girls with my name.

AltogetherAndrews · 27/09/2020 15:11

Uncommon, or rather, 150 years out of date!

Bernardstolemywatch · 27/09/2020 15:11

Common and classic.

AnnaMagnani · 27/09/2020 15:11

Rare. People know of it, can't pronounce it and I have only met one other and never with the same spelling.

BabyStone · 27/09/2020 15:14

I have a unisex name which is a lot more popular for men but quite uncommon for women

BrunoMars · 27/09/2020 15:19

Same as @BabyStone

Apart from being addressed as Dear Mr on emails I like it 😊

mrsnec · 27/09/2020 15:20

I was the only one at middle school and 2 in my year at secondary school.

I was born in the late 70's. There's 4 celebrities I can think of with my name and it's been in 2 adverts. One for cars and one for coffee so it's a bit more popular than I'd like.

Blacknosugarplease · 27/09/2020 15:21

Uncommon. I’ve never met anyone with my name. I hated it when I was younger and went by my middle name. Love it now Smile

Susannahmoody · 27/09/2020 15:21

Uncommon but not unusual

ApolloandDaphne · 27/09/2020 15:22

Very common in my age group but sadly often used as a derogatory term now.

Used to be very uncommon but has risen in popularity and is just inside the top 100 I think.

Dailyhandtowelwash · 27/09/2020 15:23

Common and dull. Has been slagged off on here over the years as uninspired and pedestrian. I have no real feelings about it; other people with my name seem generally more sorted in life than me!
