I’m curious.
My name is unique. I can confidently say that not only am I pretty sure there is no one else with my given name/family name combo on the planet, I’m pretty sure there never has been. I am the only [name] that has ever lived.
So tell me in the tags please, how common your full name is, whether you’ve ever encountered someone with the same name, and (if applicable) what it’s like seeing celebrities or people in the news or whatever who have your name.
#i know for a fact that theres an extremely minor porn actress in the us with my FIRST/LAST name altho she may pronounce it differently#which is why i use my middle name on my resume and such. or use my nickname in professional settings. btw#otherwise? first name is super common in [redacted] country less common in the us but not unheard of. variant spellings are super common#last name is not uncommon in [redacted] country less common in the us but again not unheard of altho usually not pronounced the way i do#FIRST/LAST name combo is not super common because the countries of origin are not the same countries but they arent like. wildly different#basically my name gets mispronounced a whole lot but people arent surprised by it. they just add or subtract syllables#i just realized i didnt answer the questions. ive heard of famous people rarely who had my last name (like historical figures)#and ive met and heard of people who had my first name pretty frequently#never met anyone who had my nickname irl tho! so thats a win. (my nickname irl is NOT sarge lmao)
