I have the most popular name for girls when I was born and for many years running after that. My daughter also has one of the top 10 from her generation. Surprisingly neither of us have run into many people with the same name as us. Not in school or in our family or social circles. Maybe a casual acquaintance here and there but no more so than any less common names. I guess we were just lucky.

yes, I think you were.
I just had an online conversation with some school mates, laughing about the fact that one year, 3 people with the same name were in the same class, and the teacher had to get a bit creative with what she called each of them, to be able to tell who she was talking to
Imagine having a super simple name like Debbie, only your parents decided to be cute and drop the "e" at the end. I forever corrected people about the spelling of my name. And, Debbi is my name, not Debra or Deborah.
Hey, I did find a candy conversation Easter egg (like the conversation hearts) with my named spelled MY way. I still have it.
My friend decided she wanted a different spelling for her daughter's popular name, and now the daughter is 25 and saying, "Thanks, Mom. Nobody ever spells my name correctly." She never found anything with her name spelled the way she does, either.
When Facebook first came out, a friend of mine (who has the same late-1950s first name as I do) sent me a message saying, "Look at all the people who aren't you."
She had searched on my name, and it pulled up more than 100 people on Facebook with my name, first and last. We are white, black, male, female (mostly female), from the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand (fairly common English last name that you have all heard before).

I'm not special.
I have found other people on Facebook with my full name. However, every Debbie had an e. So, I guess that means I am special.
My son, on the other hand, is in the same boat as you: there are hundreds of his clones in this world. I do think they are all male, but I could be wrong.
