Only 2 3 wake ups so far. Not bad.
That reminds me. There's several Simon's at work. I'm very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.
Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.
Feels odd to call someone else by my name.
- 3 wakes, 3 recovering from migraine wakes because i have to pee
  name, i don't meet many people with my first name and have met none with my last
  
  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 😂
  
  same
  both a blessing and a curse
  
  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.
  
  Ezekiel?
  
  Jebediah
  
  That's a cruel name
  
  Could also be Job or Onan
  
  They're all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.
  
  Wayan Darren Jones?
  
  Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we're especially weird.
  Not familiar with names from other religions that much.
  
  everyone in my family of origin has a biblical name except me
  on account of they didn't even bother to choose a name for a girl so asked the name of my nurse
  thanks
  why even tell a kid that 😠 it's not funny
  
  Okay that's kind of funny in a sad way.
  Gut wrenching, for sure, but the sheer dumbness is something else.
- I know some arabs that named their twin boys Jesus and Moses (in arabic) and then there's little brother Adam.
  
  Next one would be Eve?
  
  There maybe more. I don't know.
- There have always been a bunch of Thomas's around for me. There's one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software
- The first three people I met with name, we're all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.
