I didn’t grow up in the US. My name is very popular in the region I am from.
I gave my daughter relatively unique name because I wanted her to be the only one. It’s not a made up name and in fact it’s an old fashioned one, but not popular and in her 36 years of life she met exactly zero people with her name. I’ve met exactly one person with my daughters name. She did the same naming her son. Very old fashioned name but not common nowadays, there’s no one with his name, unless someone is 100 years old. Certainly no kids nowadays! He’ll likely always be the only one. I think it’s cool.
