I visited a fire station in the country in my province a few years ago and on the wall were names of the volunteers. Nearly every one was John Gallant, the surname is very common and it's a small community. The funny thing is the surname is so common people have nicknames such as John 'Rabbit' Gallant but that name becomes so well-known his son will be called Rabbit Jr. So the plaque is full of a wild mix of actual surnames and given names and of course nicknames but also the junior of the nicknamed people. Add to that one family has seven daughters all named Mary.
