Over where, if I may ask? I think it's uncommon because I don't encounter it that often. I have the bad habit of perking up whenever I hear my name (or any of my friends' names, or anything that has the same vowel). In the first 18 years of my life, I had encountered maybe a dozen other Keith's, either in person, or had heard of. This last year and nine months would probably bring it up another 6-9. I consider that fairly uncommon :) Much more so than my middle name, David. -Keith
