2. How many people have you met with your name? Is it popular, familiar, or uncommon?
3. Have you ever heard or seen your name on the news, television, or books?

1. I don't think it is.

3. I saw it on the news, I think. Can't remember when but it's common so I'm sure it was mentioned!
4. A semi-famous pop singer.
5. Ranked #20 in my birth year.

My favorite is the Brian Royal one (even though I'm pretty sure he's unsigned - but he shouldn't be bc talented AND hot!), followed byt Kaiser Chiefs. Stephanie Says is a little too sleepy for my taste, and Stephanie is the worst of the bunch, too depressing.
2. How many people have you met with your name? Is it popular, familiar, or uncommon?
About 10, 11 or so? It's definitely familiar, but it's down in the lower 500 these days, lol
3. Have you ever heard or seen your name on the news, television, or books?
Stephanie Tanner is the only one I've seen on TV.
4. Is your name associated with a celebrity or anything well-known in particular?
Stephanie Tanner lol
5. On the year you were born, if your name was on the top #1000 names, what number was it on? If it wasn’t the year you were born, did it appear after?

And now for my middle name! (bc why not lol)
1) Funnily enough, there's exactly ONE song with my middle name, Clare, in the title, by a group called Fairground Attraction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5CHT37KdmY - I really like it! It's folky and toe-tap-worthy. I don't usually go for folk songs, but this is an exception. There are my Clare titles, but those refer to the Irish county, so I didn't count them. As for the much more common Claire, there's: (I ranked them from favorite to least favorite)
Claire - Jimmy Eat World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VruCvJcphsk
Claire - The Push Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoHDWld38Ps
Claire's Ninth - Ben Folds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Sjm4aGcSU
Claire - Rheostatics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGFw587OAXk
2) Absolutely zilch with my spelling, but I've met or heard of at least six Claire's.
3) Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show, Claire Kyle on My Wife and Kids, and Claire on Happy Together (which was produced by Harry Styles and only lasted one season [rip]), but none exactly named Clare. There was also a baby Claire in a book I read once. Oh, and Claire Crosby! But yeah, none with my spelling. Clare is quite rare, as you can probably already tell lol, but Claire is a lot more familiar.

Do you know 'Clair' by Gilbert O'Sullivan? Used to be just a cute little tribute to a kiddie he babysat, but once the public became sensitised to pedophilia, people started seeing it everywhere, and the lyrics started looking unacceptable. Which I don't think they are, but I don't think it'll get much airtime any more.

I immediately associate Stephanie with Stephanie Tanner and a song from Young M.A. I don’t know if you don’t it but it basically goes like this:
“If that's ya chick, then why she texting me?
Why she keep calling my phone speaking sexually?
Every time I'm out, why she stressing me?
You call her Stephanie? I call her Headphanie”
“If that's ya chick, then why she texting me?

1. I'm not really sure, I don't listen to a lot of songs with lyrics. (classical music and hymns fan over here)
2. I've met a LOT of people with my name. Kids and adults.
3. Yes. There are a lot of celebrities with my name, I can find it in the credits of basically any movie, and there are quite a few fictional characters with my name, in TV shows, movies and books.
4. Yep. Tons of celebrities who have my name, and my name is a Biblical name.
5: Yes, it was. It ranked #18 that year.

1. Yes, not the same spelling but that doesn't matter in a song. Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne. It came out when I was in grade school. I absolutely hate that song.
2. I've met a few people, but none with the same spelling. Mine is Stacey. I've met Stacy, Stacie, and Staci.
3. Sure, not always sure if it's the same spelling.
4. There's a female wrestler. That's all I can think of right now.
5. It was number 276

My birth name:
1. 3, none is popular. Two are ok, one is hideous.
2. It was extremely popular in my birth country for decades, but I've met only few people with the same name in the United States, all were immigrants.
3. Definitely.
4. Unfortunately, it has the image of "an ugly old lady" in anglophone countries.
5. Unofficially, it was #3 in my birth year and #3 in the 20th century, but I've always felt it was the most popular name. In the United States,
it was in the sixth hundred.

My name's in so many song titles; if I made a playlist of them, I bet it'd be over an hour long. They're all bad, though. The most tolerable one is classical guitar.
My name is popular/familiar. It was #44 when I was born, had been in common use for decades before that and has been more popular since but never made top 10 in my the US. I'd guess I've met more than 5, less than 50 people with it. I've heard it all sorts of places. No one I went to school with or know well has the same name.

1: No, not that I'm aware of. (My name's Audrey for reference)
2: In personal, 3. All former classmates with one from Canada. So not necessarily a lot but still surprising, considering that although my name is definitely familiar, it isn't one you tend to come across frequently. (Though not saying it's exceptionally rare either)
3: Yes. Books: Starvation Lake by Bryan Gruley (Very minor character) The Little Miss Audrey series when I was young. Tv series: Haven (A woman by the name of "Audrey Parker" was the main protagonist in the show. There may have been some others, but those are the ones I can definitely remember.
4: Hepburn of course. (:
5: #162

Have you ever watched Twin Peaks? I ask because the name Audrey makes me think of that show before anything else (Audrey Horne is a main character, played by Sherilyn Fenn).
1
No, at least not in its entirety, only bits and pieces here and there. (So never actually seen it). I've heard that it's good but I never really had the interest to give it a go. Maybe someday. I was aware that there was a character by the name of Audrey (Again, only from the bits and pieces that I've seen) but the reference of course slipped by mind. I probably would have mentioned it but that I've never seen it in full.
1
I also think of Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors

My name is Mary, so my answer to all of the questions are "yes." my name has been used in songs, and in all forms of popular media. I have met many other women with the name, but rarely people my own age.
My name is mostly associated with the Virgin Mary I think.
My name was #35 the year I was born.

As an Erica, this should be a fun!
1. My name is, in fact, in a song: "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega, which was everywhere in the late 90s. Everywhere. Despite it being played out, at the time I thought it was fun that my name appeared in a song (although since Lou Bega is German, it's likely spelled "Erika" in the lyrics). It wasn't until about 10 years after the song came out that I realized it was about escorts.
2. Over the years I've met quite a few people with my name, most either my age or ~10 years older (hardly any that were younger - name seems to have started really dropping off after '95). I wouldn't say it's overused, but it is familiar. There also seem to be an almost equal number of Ericas and Erikas (and I've met a couple Erickas as well).
I also have a sister-in-law named Arica.
3. I'm sort of named after a soap opera character: Erica Kane from All My Children. I've never actually sat down and watched the show (don't watch soaps), but from what I understand she's an iconic... villain? My mom didn't admire the character so much as she realized she liked hearing the name said aloud, and she liked the spelling on the show (she'd mostly seen it with a K before).
Also, there is an off-screen character called Erica on BoJack Horseman that's a source of comic relief. We never see her, but every time a character addresses her (usually Mister Peanutbutter) and goes off screen to talk to her, it's usually a declaration of something really outlandish: "Erica! Look at you with the correct number of ears!" or "Erica, who let you out of the burn unit!" or even "Erica, what're you doing here? You know you're not allowed around children!" Stuff like that. And since Erica is not on screen, it often feels like the characters are talking to me, lol!
And every once in a while someone in my family will share the "Airwrecka" meme and tag me in it.
4. This goes along with the previous answer: Erica Kane. My spelling is also part of America, so that's nice I guess.

As common as my name is, there suprisingly aren't many popular songs with my name. The closest ones are Dizzy Miss Lizzy by The Beatles and Elizabeth by Frank Sinatra, dedicated to Miss Taylor. There's also Goodnight Elisabeth by Counting Crows. But I'm Elizabeth with a Z.

2. How many people have you met with your name? Is it popular, familiar, or uncommon? Pretty common as you'd expect. Met only 9 so far in my life. 3 of them were in my H.S. graduating class. Two a year older than me, and most being adult women.

Lizzie McGuire Anyone?

1. Is your name in a song? Do you like it?
- Yup. 3 as far as I’m aware. One is a song by Bob Dylan called Isis, (I married Isis on the 5th of May..) another song is Isis by Joyner Lucas and Logic, (Kidnap a *bleep* like Isis, turn the whole world to a crisis) and the last is One Mic by Nas. (See my name in hieroglyphs like Isis and Osiris) Ciara isn’t in any songs to my knowledge however there is a pretty well-known singer named Ciara. (My mom choose that name for me from her)
2. How many people have you met with your name?
- As far as actually personally met, I only met 1 person. I knew an Iceys (Yes, spelled that way) in Pre-School however we didn’t get to know each other cause she left. I knew there was another Isis in my school in 4th grade, and when me and my school back in 5th grade went to St. John’s University, one of the tours guides name was Isis. I had my 5 seconds of fame when everybody was pointing at me cause they said my name. So the name is unique but familiar at the same time if that makes sense.
3. Have you ever seen you name on the news, television, or books?
- On the news? Plenty of times, lmao. I remember seeing this show called “The Secrets of Isis” a few days ago. In books, there’s a DC comics character called Isis, and I remember reading a book in 1st grade about gods and goddesses and Isis was in it.
4. Is your name associated with a celebrity or anything well-known particular?
- Yes, sadly. :( I would say Isis King, however she isn’t a very well known person.
- Yup. 3 as far as I’m aware. One is a song by Bob Dylan called Isis, (I married Isis on the 5th of May..) another song is Isis by Joyner Lucas and Logic, (Kidnap a *bleep* like Isis, turn the whole world to a crisis) and the last is One Mic by Nas. (See my name in hieroglyphs like Isis and Osiris) Ciara isn’t in any songs to my knowledge however there is a pretty well-known singer named Ciara. (My mom choose that name for me from her)

1. Is your name in a song? Do you like it? (It can be middle or first name. Send the link too if you want.)
There’s some Italian songs, none I’m really familiar with.
2. How many people have you met with your name? Is it popular, familiar, or uncommon?
Many. It’s a very common in name for Italian women my age range.
3. Have you ever heard or seen your name on the news, television, or books?
Yes because it’s so common. Francesca and Paolo are the Italian equivalent to Romeo and Juliet in the Dante’s Inferno. And obviously now there’s Francesca Bridgerton, though she played such a tiny role
.
4. Is your name associated with a celebrity or anything well-known in particular?
There are a few Italian celebrities with the name but they aren’t so strongly associated that you’d think “oh you must have been named after actress Francesca so-and-so” especially as it’s such a common name.
5. On the year you were born, if your name was on the top #1000 names, what number was it on? If it wasn’t the year you were born, did it appear after?
Don’t have time to check now.

2. How many people have you met with your name? Is it popular, familiar, or uncommon?
I know 2 other people named Cecil. One is surprisingly another person my age in my city. And the other is Cecil Baldwin, who’s a podcaster and performer.

My name is in the title of a couple books.
Cecil, or Adventures of a Coxcomb, by Catherine Gore published in 1841.
Cecil Dreeme by Theodore Winthrop published in 1861.
And apparently a newly published historical book called The Cecil Hotel about two serial killers who stayed there?
4. Is your name associated with a celebrity or anything well-known in particular?
Yeah, most people’s names would probably go to the main character Cecil Gershwin Palmer of the Welcome to Nightvale podcast, who’s playee by Cecil Baldwin.
There’s also a Final Fantasy main character named Cecil, but I haven’t played that one.
5. On the year you were born, if your name was on the top #1000 names, what number was it on? If it wasn’t the year you were born, did it appear after?

1. I have no idea if Megan is in a song. I know Michele is, for sure - Michelle by The Beatles came out right before my aunt was born, so my my grandma spelled her name Michele so that people wouldn't assume she'd been named after the song, and my middle name is after my aunt.
2. Oh, plenty. I went to school with lots of Megans. I even met another Megan Michele once (it was in a FB group, and we both had our first/middle names in our FB name; it was a pretty small/niche group and I definitely did a double take because I hadn't remembered responding to that particular thread, lol).
3. There was a character named Megan in Drake and Josh, which is the most popular one I can think of. Also, there's an Animal Crossing character named Megan (she's a bear).
4. There's lots of fairly well-known Megans out there; Megan Thee Stallion is the one that comes to mind first, as well as Megan Fox. Oh, Megan Rapinoe too.
5. My name was #12 the year I was born. It's now down around #600, so it's DEFINITELY going to be a middle-aged mom name in a decade or two, lol.
