Guy's Names
I feel like whenever I'm in a public place or with a bunch of people, if I shout out a common guy's name like David, Eric, Andrew, Ben, etc, I would get many heads turning my way. I know at least two people (people who I'm actually in contact with), who have those four names I just wrote. Is just me? Or is it actually something that other people encounter as well? It's so difficult sometimes to keep track of which Nick we're talking about. I feel like this doesn't happen with girls as much. Or is this because I'm in grad school and there are way more guys than girls?

There are two guys in the program with the names Denis and Dennis and two guys with the name Mike on the ballroom team. I don't really know any girls here yet with the same name. I don't think this is necessarily because you're in grad school or even that there are more guys. The number of guys and girls I know is about equal.
Maybe girls have a wider range of popular or common names
I had the #1 girl's name the year I was born. Most of my life from elementary school to college I have had at least three other people with the same name as me in my class. One of my sister's best friends has the same name as me. I have trained myself NOT to turn around when I hear someone call my name. Nine times out of ten it is not someone looking for me.
