Curious...

I was reading through another post (about bad weird names) and there was a link to the good weird names contest. I read through the comments and I thought the comments of the 'normal" named people were interesting. In short, most wished they had more unique names...even to the point that they be the only person with that name.  I think I have a fairly common name, even though I've probably only met a handful of people with the same name (all spelled differently, though).  I've always been drawn to names I feel are substantial and less common...but thats just me and lots of folks think my taste is a little out there (and it is:).

So my question is this - those of you with more common names, does it effect the kinds of names you would consider? Same question for those of you with unusual names.
