Earlier this year I met someone named Kearan. I never heard that name before, yet now I keep seeing/hearing it over and over again in some form or another (Kieran, Kieron, ...).
Is there a name for this "you only see it when you know it" phenomenon? If so, I'm really vulnerable to it (also a lot with foreign words or phrases). 😅
@garritfra Yes! It's called the Frequency Illusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
(Also called by a name taken from a German terrorist organization: the 'Baader–Meinhof phenomenon')
