Oh yes, definitely. Not long ago, I saw a website where you could see how many babies had been given your name. Mine? None whatsoever. Anyone I know with the same name is roughly of the same 'vintage' as me. grin

My name was extremely common when I was born but, like most from that era, it hasn’t been used since.
Lately, when I finish an email, Apple takes it upon himself to correct it from Ann to Anna.
I am now obsolete! Does this happen with other by-gone names?
