    I have an online handle (not this one) that is kinda close to my real name. Two letters change it from “10% of white girls born in North America between 1975 and 2000 have this name” to a name I’ve only seen attached to one real person before.

    I always thought that Fox was a cool name for a dude ever since I watched the X-Files. If I had to change my first name, that’s what I’d pick.

    Not sure how uncommon you’re looking for, but I think I already did this.

    I chose Sage.

    According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn’t in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.

    Though both names I’ve used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it’s not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)

      That was my name back in Japan. Had to change it because it would be too easy to vandalize, people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever
