While it can be seen like this, it does stop the unnecessary act of going through childhood being called things like Moon Unit[1] or Prince Michael II. But then again, I suppose there is an argument that if you can make it through childhood with a name like this, your going to end up a pretty tough adult.

I feel the same way about people forced to go through life with the same name as two million other people. I think, "How sad it must be that you're just another Dan or Tenzin or Mohamed..." If only some greater power would step in and limit the number of repetitions of the same name. Let's say average name density can't exceed 1%. If parents can't be bothered to create a good name they shouldn't create a new life.
Presumably your first name is Admiral_19231
