I have one of the most common first names Margaret, last time I check it was #9 on the list. And all the things you warn about for a uncommon name happen to me all the time. I never can find those custom names things because my name is classic not trendy. And forget about spelling, 50% of the time people spell it wrong.

I personally think using a less common name with a special meaning to you or a cultural connection is nice. Far better than picking a trendy name that has no significance but just sounds cool.

When I have kids I want to them to have Irish names as well so I have plenty of suggestions. My personal favorites besides Patrick (I know, wayyyy to common) are Colm, Finn, Eamon & Rowan
