In all of my years growing up (in Canada), there was never another girl with my name in my class (although there was one in my younger sister's class). I never met someone who shared my name in high school or university. I actually thought I had a relatively rare name. Then I went abroad and worked with a bunch of Americans, and there were two others in my workplace. Then I started my master's, and there were three others in my department. Then I met the man I would eventually marry, and his brother was already married to a woman with the same name as me (and born the same year). Now we share the same first AND last names (not confusing at all). The name: Lauren.

I was named after my mother's best friend Janene. I have never met another who spelled their name that way.

My name is Keyomi. I've never met anyone that shared a name with me. I did once find a girl with the same name as me on facebook, and we became friends just because of our names. I became ok with not finding trinkets and things with my name on it, though it bothered me a bit as a kid, but I have gotten compliments all throughout my life, which has really made me feel special. My poor sister though, they went with the most popular name for that year... Abigail.
