    I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.

      Almost sounds blissful. I’m the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them 😂

        I have my husband’s surname. If I met someone else with that surname, we are related.

      Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.

      Got a better last name now I’m married though.

            They’re all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.

              Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we’re especially weird.

              Not familiar with names from other religions that much.
