I find that at least for the goofy “look up anyone and brace yourself” data hoovering companies having a super common name means my info gets muddled in with a ton of other people’s.

Everyone legally change their name to the current most common name.

Being named John Smith is such an underappreciated superpower.

		Nah, Smith stands out because everybody knows it's common. Cooper is better. It's one of the 10 most common last names in the US, but it doesn't give off "super common, might be fake" vibes.
