Our names are passed from generation to generation according to a set of rules therefore, not very common. No offence to some but there are names not considered "adult" names. These names are ditched at some point in favour of the inherited name. That practice is slowly losing momentum however.

Same in our family, I’m proud on that, but yes seems younger people don’t care anymore.

Same go with research the family tree.

Babies carry the names their parents give them for life.

Cruel sometimes the choices parents make.
