    12 Things Only People With Popular Names Understand

    Why did my parents pick the same name as five other kids in my class?

    1. You never respond to your name

    2. You are only identified by your first initial of your last name

    3. God forbid you have the same first initials...

    4. You have definitely said "here" for the wrong person multiple time

    5. You try to come up with unique ways to spell your name so you feel special

    6. But then so does everyone else with your name

    7. You start being defined by activities you are involved in

    8. You begin to despise others with your name

    9. You wonder if your parents just picked your name because they were too lazy to come up with something else

    10. Your name is so common you have at least one cousin who also has it

    11. You begin to give Starbucks a fake name so there is not a stampede when your drink is ready

    12. You swear you will never give this torture to your kids
