That's interesting.

Funny thing is, I went back and forth so much. I could've very easily ended up with a much less common middle name.

After choosing "Amy" over "Jessica" for my first name, it took me a while to settle on a middle name. For a while, I wanted it to alliterate and very nearly chose "Abigail" (which was uncommon when I was born but is very common now). Then, I decided I wanted something truly uncommon and nearly decided on "Sunset" (it isn't even in the name database here, so I guess it was more uncommon than I thought!). Ultimately, I began to regret not picking "Jessica" as my first name, so I made it my middle name.

No regrets, though. My new initials form a tri-ligature, so I'm really glad I went with it.
