Common name
In the USA, I was accustomed to having a name that no one else had. No one in high school or college shared my name; at Microsoft I was the only Stefan I knew for the first 6 years I worked there. When another Stefan came along in Indigo, I always felt funny saying 'Stefan' to him or about him.
Now that I work at Google in Zurich though, the situation is completely different. Stefan, or a variation of it, is probably the most common name in the office. We have me, another Stefan, a Steffen, a Steven, a Stephany, and a Stéphane.
It's going to take some getting used to. I don't feel funny using the name to refer to other people any more, but I'm still looking for a good way to differentiate myself.
