I'd say my name is fairly common(ish). I've met around 3 people who are named Brandon before. Oh hey that's interesting. I looked it up, and my name is the 1127th most common name in the US.
Edit: Wait, it's not the 1127th most common. It's the 68th most common. Wow.

I've never met anyone called Catriona-Sian.
Met two other Catrionas. Met plenty of Sians.
Never met someone with the two joint. XD

Matthew. It's fairly common. In my circle of friends there's three of us, so we have to be referred to as Little Matt, Medium Matt, and Big Matt (based on height). I'm the Big one.
My first name is common enough. Out of the 5,3 million people in this country, 22347 are named Teemu. So, around 4.2%. No other country really uses that name.
My surname, however, is really, really rare and almost none but my relatives have it. There are 90 living people with my last name. In the world. 171 in the whole world, at any point, ever, have had that surname.
So the chances are I'm the only one with that exact name. Even disregarding my middle name.

My first name, Vetle, is a somewhat rare name in my country, and outside it's pretty much non-existent. There are about 3000 people with the same name as me in the world, if the statistics are to be believed.
I'm the only person with my full name though.

I'm too lazy to look it up but I could swear the only name more common in the US than Benjamin is Jose. I can't find many Bens around where I live but I remember hearing some study that said it was the most common name until Jose usurped it. Yay?
Common for my age group? Or common for newborns?
In my age group, it is rare, however in the recent years it has become the most common name for newborn boys.

My name is very rare, but there is also a male model with my name (first AND last), Jamin Thompson (not afraid to post first and last, since any internet search will only result in lots of hits for the famous one). I just wish i looked that good. Also, my name is probably much more common in, say, Israel, since it's a Hebrew name.
IRL forename: Biblically common.
IRL surname: Very rare. I didn't know of anyone with it outside my immediate family until I was about 10, and no-one can spell it properly. Only with the rise of the internet have I since found the odd pocket of them here and there, and fully three other people with the exact same "full" name (but different middle names, at least) on the whole planet. One's a semi-pro cyclist, another is a middle-aged banker, and the third appears to be a small time serial killer. So all in all, I don't think I'm doing too badly in terms of vices.
Handle: Rare as hell, which is why I've hung onto it for a decade and a half. The one time I've ever had a site refuse it was youtube, of all places. Tried to make an account (for work reasons... I have no funny videos worth showing the world) about 6 months ago only to find some egyptian guy registered using it about 3 years ago, favourited one video, then presumably realised he'd spelt his own name wrong (tahrir maybe?) and ragequit FOR EVAR. Grr.
