They hardly ever see each other ... seemed strange to me. Not saying you don't have a right to be mad, I just don't totally get it. Then again I named my kid Liam so originality is clearly not at the top of my list of importance.

I understand where you're coming from, we don't live in a very large community, and they'll be in the same grade, so the odds of the kids running into each other are pretty good.
I think what made my wife (and I, to a lesser extent) angry was the importance the name had due to being family members that had recently passed, etc. When compared to someone that "just thought it sounded good" it seemed a bit shallow, I guess.
I'm not sweating it now, but if I ever bring it up to my wife, she still gets a bit agitated. Kinda fun to do, actually...
