    My name is Reidun, i would say it is at least uncommon among my generation, still grown up and old people have that name a lot. Not too common, but its not that unique

    My first and middle names is Sydney Jordan. They come from TV shows and only one other girl that I know of in my area has the same.
    And if I were a boy, my name would be Jarrett Shea, both from books.

    My name is really rare, like I'm not tooting my own horn but if you google search my first name by itself all my personal accounts come up and it's really scary......luckily Im very safe on the internet so I never let people know my first name if I don't know them well hahaha

    Mine is pretty plain, simple, and pretty. Feminine, but some 390 men were born with my birth name. And it is Biblical so you can imagine how common it is.

    I won't say my birthname, but I had a history class with five other people with the same name (different spellings though). So no, not in the slightest :lol:

    My first name is Aaron, which is 74 on the 100 most popular baby boy names in 2013. I've only met a handful of other Aaron's - and I only knew one in high school. My name is supposed to be pronounced like Sharon, but people always call me Air-run upon first meeting me, which pisses me off, although to be fair, Aaron is supposed to be pronounced Air-run. Arron is pronounced like Sharon. I preferred the latter pronunciation though, so it stuck.

    Also, it's apparently a chav name, so that's nice.

    I have a hyphenated first name but the two names separately are common. I'm the only one I know of. When I was on Facebook and I searched for myself, there were no multiple profiles.

    "Annika" seems to be thought of as a rather uncommon name (in the US)...but there are more of us than people think! But wow, the misspellings and mispronunciations are unbelievable (worst spelling I've heard was "Onica"...come on, people!).

    In case anyone cares, mine is pronounced "AH-nick-uh" (and although lots of Annikas use "ANNE-ick-uh", that one drives me nuts *smile*).

    Mine's Yven, which is a old French/German name and so far I haven't met someone with this name. Except for someone here on EC who used to go by this name, but isn't anymore :slight_smile:

    My name is Paige, which I think is probably in the middle as far as first names go... It's not extremely common but it's definitely not unheard of, either.
