    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.

                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.

          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.

      The first three people I met with name, we’re all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.

      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
