[Opinions] Re: People with Top 10 names: how has life treated you?
My husband’s name. He was accepted into a top 20 college and masters program, has never had a company not offer the job to him after an interview, and has never had anyone misspell, mispronounce, or confuse his name. But he does have to have an email address with numbers after it.

Thanks to my maiden name none of my siblings had to have an email with numbers after it.
I can relate to that! When I had my maiden name I was the only “me” in the world. No numbers! Now that I have a married name, I found my name is very common. there is even a lady with the same name, birthdate, AND we live in the same town. I liked being unique, but I used to have my maiden name misspelled as something offensive so I’ll take the trade off.
