Paranoid

I swear in the last 3 months I have heard my name become more common than ever. I realize it was a huge 80's name, but damn!

It seems like commercials are constantly using it, or sitcoms. I always look up too at the TV as if they were really talking to me.

Maybe it's like when you buy a car, and no one you know drives one, but as soon as you start driving it, you see them everywhere.

Re: Paranoid

  • My name is not too common...at least, I don't hear/see it a lot. And I never see my spelling.

  • I never see my spelling (Alyx) but I swear there are 10973928743 little boy children nowadays with the name Alex, because I'm forever hearing moms yell it out in the store. Makes me snap to attention til I realize it's not for me.

  • Strangely, I never hear my name, or at least not often.

  • When I was little I wanted an awesome 80s name. I got stuck with a name in the top 10 during the 40s.

    Do you know it also means "a fertile plain"? Indifferent

  • Unfortunately mine has always been a fairly common name. I take solace in the fact that I rarely have it misspelled. :) (Unlike my new last name...)

  • At least you had this long without hearing too much.  :)

    I have the most common name ever.  I always had to be "Jennifer P." or we'd decide who was going to be Jen vs. Jennifer vs. Jenny.

    There were 5 Jennifer/Jenny's in my group from school when we went to China.
