Without saying your first name ,is your name common/uncommon?

Common as in well used

I would say fairly common

In 49 years only ever met 2 people of my name...

It's considered a classic on the baby name threads. But I think it's a bit boring. It's not Anne.

Common for the generation I was born in, with a fair few ever since.

Mine is very uncommon. For example no other girl out of 1000 in my secondary school had it.
That said its very plain.

Pretty common in the area of the uk I’m in but less so elsewhere. I’ve not heard of a baby in about ten years but it was common from the 70s and earlier through to after 2000.

Very Uncommon. Was slightly more popular 100 years ago but even then it didn't make a top 500 list. I have heard of a few and met one person who shares my name.

Uncommon. I’ve never met anyone with my name. There was a pop-singer with my name a couple of years ago. I remember being on the tube when I saw her name written in large letters in the metro newspaper. I was so excited I had to point it out to the poor people next to me and text my sister.

Wasn’t common at all until I was about 10
Then very common for a few years
Now back to uncommon (except for the large number of late 20 somethings with the name)

Fairly common and 'of an era'. There were four in my class alone.

Common in the year I was born, but I have seen it described on here as a name which should never be revived. 😕

Uncommon but not out there - pretty classic but not really been fashionable since the 19th century!

It is very common but i dont know another. Nobody else in my year at school. Worked with one once but not now. They are out there though.they are 60 something i think. Im 50

Very, very uncommon in the UK. Scandinavian name, doesn't even show in stats as less than (3? 5?) registered in the uk each year.

Wasn't mad on it growing up, love it as an adult.

Uncommon. Never met or come across anyone with my name.

Uncommon. Only ever met one other...in the year below at sixth form, where it created some confusion as everyone was used to the name being unique. My brother, with a highly popular name, never had the same issue as people were used to attaching an identifier.

Common in the 70s. I dislike it

Common.
I can always find stuff in gift shops with my name on.

In Wales yes.

Outside of Wales no.

Uncommon for my age group, but a universally known name that was far more common in generations before mine...and I think basically none existent since. I’ve never met another in my age group. I hate my name.

Not common but not exactly uncommon either.
I was the only one with my name in a 200 child primary school.
Then when I started high school there were 4 in my year alone (250 to a year).
Since leaving high school, I actually haven't met a single one since, and only know of one famous person/actress with my first name.
So I'm not sure what that means!

Only ever met one person with my name and same spelling as me. Am pushing 50 and very bored of seeing my name written wrongly. My child has a first name that everyone spells the same way.

Uncommon for women but according to MN fairly common for cats😂😂

Not common nowadays and I tend to always be the youngest if I meet anyone with the same name, if that makes sense.

Uncommon but not unusual iyswim, apart from the Irish spelling. I've never met another one of me (Irish spelling) and only a couple of others "normal" spelling in my 45 years.

Mine is a 60's decade name so very uncommon now.
