    My username is my first name, and I’d say it’s already pretty uncommon!

    Something old, like a name from Sumer, Akkad, Elam, maybe something Hittite.

    Epirmupi, Shamsaki, Puzur-Inshushinak, Ninurta, Lugalzagasi, Tiglath-Pileser, Hattusili, Suppiluliuma.

    I’m loving the creativity here! To me though, “uncommon” implies that it’s not like completely unheard of either. so, my choice would be “Midge”

    I’ve already got a name that puts me quite comfortably in the 1% of names used in my country. It’s not as cool to have a uncommon name as you think. It’s easy to get picked on, you never can buy those souvenir mugs or keyrings with ‘your name’ and it gets misspelled.

    I mean I’ve written a book where my name is on the cover and one review managed to misspell it…

    Otoh. I once met someone on holiday in Ireland that said ‘i one met a kid with that name and it was in Croatia, about ten years ago’.

    That kid was me. If I had a more common name we’d never have known.

    I already did, but I won’t be sharing it in a public forum :P

    Doesn’t apply for me, but nonbinary folk are great for this question because they all name themselves after random inanimate objects (which is 100% valid)
