Yeah, I can imagine that would be a problem--I just edited the post to say it would be more for a middle name, since the whole thing about hearing it all the time and thinking you were being referenced would get really annoying.
I think I'm probably more critical of it than other people named Hope I've met. And hey, at least I'm not named Jessica or Jennifer or something where you have four girls in a class with the same name.
Depends on your age. I'm in my mid-twenties and there were far more Jennifers, Laurens, and Alisons around me growing up. The surplus of Ashleys and Amandas seemed to come a few years behind us in school.
