My first name was a very common male name in my age group. I have a nephew who at one point had 3 uncles named as me; my other sisters husband, his dads brother, and myself (my other sister divorced her husband after some years). I never considered having a common name to be a thing, there are lots of common names after all, or more specifically, few names and many people.
Nowadays, Sarah is supposedly an uncommon name, we named our daughter Sarah partly because of this. I didn't realize it was so common previously, I only ever met a few Sarahs in my life.
