My name is David. Do you know how common that name is? At one point in my life I knew and regularly interacted with 8 other Davids. That’s not even close to how many I’ve known over the years. That’s what happens when you have a name that’s been popular for like 3000 years. Biblical names are the usual Western example. My friend Mike - no the other Mike - no the other other Mike - agrees.
Comment on Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name.

A lot of these people grew up being called “The Black Kim” or “The Fat Jesse” because there are only so many standard names.
I mean I am one of 15 people in my company with the same first name, and 3 of which have the same first name, last name. I spent easily an hour per pay period forwarding emails to the correct parties.
I get the concept but it’s a bit too far.
