Very true, I'm called Sally and I like it - I've only ever met 1 other person named the same, yet everyone knows how to spell it, etc.

Best of both worlds!

Sally's a good name. It sounds familiar but you're right, I actually only know of one other Sally and one Sally-Ann. ok

There was once a young man who was keen on two girls. One was called Alice while the other was called Sally. He decided to repeat the name of each girl over and over to see which one he liked better. After a while he realised they sounded just the same.
