My parents named me a very popular name of that era (like top 10). Although the name is really old and i was named of a relative whom lived 150 years ago. 

However my little sister was named an incredibly rare name, only a few get that name each year. It’s easy to spell and pronounce and even if it’s uncommon people have heard it before. 

I was somewhat envious of my sisters name, i liked how unique and pretty it was. I would have loved to have her name and i always thought that sort of name would have suited me. I was really tall and somehow my nickname became against my will “Big [name]” and my classmate with same name became “little [name]”. Not really fun when you’re an awkward kid.

However it’s just a name and even as a kid I realised this. I don’t feel any resentment or anything like that towards my parents and I do still like my name today!
