My name isn't uncommon, but it's not like there are Aprils running around all over the place. So, when they do show up, they stand out to me.The first one I remember was from Days of Our Lives played by Lisa Howard in the late 80's. Then, in high school, April O'Neill from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gained popularity in her yellow jumpsuit came around. This year, I saw Rent in which Roger sings about his ex-girlfriend, April (you can hear him say that Mimi reminds him of her at the :58 point of the video clip below) and Kristin Chenoweth played April Rhodes on Glee this season. Another exciting tidbit is that Kristin Chenoweth is about my height. So, short.
Anyway, it amuses me that my name pops up. I've known a handful of Aprils throughout my life and Husband's friend from high school married a woman with the same first and last name as me. They're all awesome. Plus, not every April I've met was born in April which also amuses me because I was not.
Is your name popular and are you like me and enjoy seeing things or hearing characters with your name on it?

My name isn't very popular, and unfortunately when it does pop up, it tends to be the name of a chesty bimbo.
My name is OH so popular......I remember starting freshmen year in college and there were 8 Jens and a Jenny on my floor alone! My middle name is much less common so I have the same reaction as you when I hear it (it's Elaine by the way).
