Not very common names in Germany?

Justin is extremly notorious and many people have prejudices about this name for being typically for anti-social behaviour, as well as the names Kevin and Chantal. Actually Yosephine isn't that rare but the way of writing it is unusual. (Normally it's Josephine or Josefine).

Haha, I'll say that to my roommate, his name is Justin
And I see more and more children with names with weird spelling, I don't get that really. Why would you give your child such a name that he/she has to spell it every single time someone has to write it down?

I don't know either. I think it's okay if you give you're child a rare name but just don't mess up the spelling to make it look exotic...

I think that parents do that to "show" how their child is unique, his name must stand out from others... (That was Helvetics psychological minute)

I do get that, I have a name that's so common here that during physics/sciencelessons at school there are three people with 'my' name, in a total class of 22 students (And I don't really like that). But at least everyone can spell my name, there is a girl in my German class that has a name that the teachers can't even pronounce right, not to mention that they write it completely wrong all the time...

My name is quite rare but most people get it
My surname though is Czech and I'm one of maybe 80 persons in Germany having that surname and many people misspell it and almost everyone puts wrong emphasis in which sucks sometimes....

My name is Arthur, in Valais almost every Arthur are old people (80-90 years old) who live in remote villages... Now, it's becoming fashionable again but from my age, this is a rare name and I'm quite proud of it!

It's funny, my name is Jannis which was extremly rare when I was born (there is just one other with that name on my school) but now many babys are called Jannis.
Impractical only in England ("My name is Jannis, like Janis Joplin only with double N, it's a boy's name in Germany")

Similarly, my name was very common in the history, but throughout the 20th century, it was neither common nor rare. (My father and grandfather had the same name) So I don't have classmates with the same name (except once for 2 years), but everybody knows the name and knows my name day.
