How many other people do you know with your name?

I don't know of anyone but my name as been stolen for use in a not so flattering way.

(Karen is a pejorative term for a white woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal.)

So not me...

Paula is a common name. I like it - I wouldn't be called anything else - but it is just a run-of-the-mill Christian name.

There are old fashioned names that I don't like: like Gay - which is an actual name. It is an old name, too. Then there's Fanny. I know what it is short for, but that name is awful. I know there's a Fanny Blake - who is probably a great person - but I just don't like that name. There are other names that don't appeal. Like Fatima. Can you also imagine being called Bill Price? The teasing at school would be horrendous.

Sorry if it offends but names like Storm, Rainbow, Sky, Cloud etc drive me nuts too..

I go with my preferred name which is quite unique. My birth name which I only use on signing a legal document is common and I know a lot who has the same name. It can also be used in daily conversation to mean something but fortunately not as unflattering like Karen or Fanny. I don't know anyone who are called the same preferred name as mine, therefore, I am maybe the only ___ in the whole country.

A former neighbor across the street is named Crystal...and she spells it the same way! (Believe it or not, there are a lot of different variations.) My ex and I each shared names with close neighbors.  The next-door neighbor, who moved in while I was married to my ex, shares the same name as my ex. 

I know of a few people with my name. No one that I meet often though.

Here we have Sharons, they do the same job description.

My name is a bit silly, and no-one I know has it. Though I have heard people on the street being called it, more than once.

Makes you wonder, eh?

I have met a few other ladies named Rebecca, but never had a chance to become close friends with them. Shame!

I was usually the only one in my class with the name. Still, sometimes people outside my class forgot and called me Rachel instead. Happened throughout the years growing up - everyone seemed to think "Oh, she's got an R name... Must have been Rachel!" That was a problem when I worked with a Rachel eventually, because then they had to remember which of us was Rebecca and which was actually Rachel.
