Fml came at 21 with my name. Weird that the shorter version is less common since I knew 5 other Alex's in my secondary school classes (I'm an Alexander).

Wow... my name is actually more popular than I thought. Never met anyone with my name though.
I didn't even need to look, but doing so confirmed there was not a statistically significant number of people born with my name.

The closest I've ever come to meeting someone with my name was dealing with someone's complaint on facebook at my old job, who had my name (spelled differently)...and lived in Norway.
