People obsess too much about telling the world how unique they are. I think that uniqueness only really counts when something stands behind it and does not work as a thing in itself. That's why having a relatively uncommon foreign name is a conversation starter - it signifies a difference in background, upbringing, experiences. At the same time a unique name chosen by the parents for the sole purpose of being different does not carry much with it, does it now? "Oh, your name is SpecialSnowflake2005 because you parents wanted to give you a uniquely identifiable name? That's nice I guess."
