Poll: How common is your name?

[Knusper]

My name's Crispin which I find is very rare. I can think of two people who are also called Crispin who aren't the saint or a children's book character and that is the Prisons Minister for the UK Crispin Blunt and some BBC reporter.

 

[Professor Lupin Madblood]

I put "common" because I've met a few people named Jack in my life, and it's a decently popular name from what I can tell. That's in real life, though.

In fiction, Jack is quite common, with me having starred in Jack and the Giant Beanstalk and Jack the Giant-Killer in terms of fairy tales. I'm also nimble, quick and good at jumping over candle sticks.

Jack is also generally used to portray a down-to-earth, straight-shooter, working-class kinda guy (Madworld's protagonist, Third Watch, several other television shows, Mad Jack from Heavy Rain, that sort of thing).

Also, according to www.behindthename.com:

Derived from Jackin (earlier Jankin), a medieval diminutive of JOHN. It is often regarded as an independent name. During the Middle Ages it was very common, and it became a slang word meaning "man". It was frequently used in fairy tales and nursery rhymes, such as 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'Little Jack Horner', and 'Jack Sprat'. American writers Jack London (1876-1916) and Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) were two famous bearers of this name.

So, yeah. Sort of common?

My name is Quinn I have never met someone with the same name. Nor have I ever heard of someone with the same name, but I like to thin we all are bad-ass people.

 

[The Rookie Gamer]

William, which nearly 4 million people in the US alone have, but I'm somewhat different from the norm as I don't go by Bill, or Will. I also have the last name Noble, which is much smaller at a bit over 40K, but together, there is only 571 people name after me. Hip hip hooray?

Also, isn't William very popular in England and Scotland, along with Wilhelm in Germany?

 

[Bomberman4000]

Adam Joseph Johnson. Bout as common and generic as it comes really.

 

[TheEverix]

I'm the only person I've ever met who's name is Mathew with one "t". I'm not sure if that entitles me to being uncommon, or just plain old "Matthew" common.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Extremely rare. I don't let people I haven't met face to face know it because it is so easy to find me. >.>

 

[CoL0sS]

I think it's very rare in US, perhaps a bit less in Europe. It's Marino btw and it's supposed to mean "of the sea" according to random "name meaning" webpage.

 

[DSK-]

I think mine is quote uncommon. I've only known of 2 people with my name, minus a German footballer.

 

[Mallefunction]

Yeah, Heather is common. Meh, I still like my name.

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

208,882 people with the first name Alexander in the US. Meh.

I am not surprised.

 

[Nudu]

Count all the Auduns you know

 

[Sigmar ov The Hammer]

My name's Kit.
I've only heard of a few people with the same name, e.i.: Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow in A Game Of Thrones and someone I saw in the Doctor Who credits one time. But I realize it's not very rare so I've voted it as fairly rare.

 

[Shadie777]

Sean.
Fairly common.
I have a couple of friends that have the same name as me and I find it quite awesome whenever we address each other.

[Cleo Cowdrey]

I didn't think Cleo was that common, but I'm not too sure now.

Edit: There are 25725 females in the US named Cleo, so not too common.

 

[Thundero13]

My name is Kit, I hate my name so if anypony knows me just call me Ezekiel, anyway here's the thing, yes i'm aware that other people have existed that have the name, Kit Conway etc. but until I incidentally meet someone with the name, i'm not believing that other people exist that have it

 

[an874]

I have a fairly common Indian name, but since I live in the US, I suppose it's rare here.
