Re: NO. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is named Jennifer.
I agree "Jennifer" (my wife's name) is far too common. And name lists (by popularity) only intensify this commonness."Kasumi" (unless it means "dog turd" or something similar) is fine, but within a week of its acceptance in the US there'd be 11 spellings ("Kesoomie", etc.) just like "Brittany" and its variants.As for "Wanda", it's fine if you're of Polish extraction, but in the US it's often a "trailer park" name ("Tammy"'s mother or sister). It doesn't get much use outside these two circumstances.
