    Tbf im the only person on the planet with my name. I think that’s pretty neat.

    For context, I have a made up last name so I know everyone on earth with my family name

      In my 40+ years alive, I’ve never met anyone with my first name, although I know they exist; a quick Google search shows me at least a handful of people who have it.

      My last name is an Americanized spelling of a Danish pronunciation of a Norwegian farm name. There are very few people who have my exact last name, and every one I’ve ever spoken to has been a descendant of my ancestral family who immigrated to America a century and a half ago.

      Combine the two, and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on the planet with my specific name. I’ve never had a problem making accounts with my first.last name anywhere.

      I have an uncommon Anglo Saxon first name. (Funny thing is this name is very common in India but the Indian and Saxon version don’t share the same origin) and I have an uncommon French last name. So I have every variation of my full name as a Gmail address.
