This post is for the people with "Top 10" or otherwise heavily popular names. Basically, I'm hoping to hear from the Johns, Marys, Michaels, Lindas, Christophers, Emilys, etc. of the world. What was school like? Or the workplace? Have you ever had a major mix-up due to your name's similarity to someone else's? Would you discourage parents from choosing a super-popular name, or let them know it's really no big deal?
I'm approaching this from a Western, particularly Anglo-centric perspective, but I'm open to hearing from people around the world.
