[quote=Anonymous]I learned to my chagrin that even choosing what appears to be an uncommon name doesn't guarantee that there won't be others around you. My second child's name has two spellings, and if you add them both together it puts it in the 180s on the SS list -- and that's for 2012, it was even less common when we chose it in 2009. So I wouldn't say that I expected to NEVER encounter another one, but I definitely didn't expect there to be TWO others that use the child care at my gym! They come at the same time as me, and the attendants joke, "we call out X, and three kids turn around." I'll be honest -- I'm annoyed by it, and I don't even know the moms. I have no "right" to be annoyed, but I still am. OTOH, my third child's name is in the 130s, and I knew that when I chose it so I expected to encounter other children with the name -- but we haven't met one in the past two years. So you just never know.[/quote]
