but mark steve chris hannah claire laura etc are all very common across the anglosphere

At one time seven people worked in my company and three of them were named Tim. Then I interviewed a new employee and his name was Tim. Honestly it actually weighed in my decision to have 4 Tims in a company of 8 employees.

I'd imagine that resulted in a few funny episodes.

He ultimately was not qualified for other reasons and did not get hired. But I did think thru the interview process it would start to look stupid if some client phoned in and asked for Tim. I would have to figure out which one he needed out of half our employees.

Same problem, but with Karthik

Just call them Tim 1, Tim 2, Tim 3 and Tim 4 based on time of employment
