My first name was the most popular baby name in my country for, like, every year of the 90s, and I think it has been in the top ten for a century, right up until today. 10000% agree. My name was never [name], it was always [name][number]. In both primary school and secondary school, even [name][initial of last name] wasn’t unique. Really fucked with my identity development growing up. And people made fun of it all the time, too.
