Alan is a very common name in the UK and I believe France too. I knew a girl named Persephone, pronounced per-se-fo-nee, never met one before nor since. My grandaughters are named Ria, Honey and Jaya. A friend has a niece named Matty.
I wouldn't say Persephone is
that unusual. I mean, it's not often seen as a regular name, but it's a commonly known Greek goddess.
I knew a little kid who went to my old school called Thor.
My own name's reasonably uncommon, and I hope people don't start copying Wayne Rooney's kid's name and make it less so.
