Last week, Nigel Hughes travelled to a village pub near London (where he's currently living) to attend a special gathering of men who share his name.
He tells us what it was like partying with 432 fellow Nigels.
Ahead of the Nigel Night, Nigel Hughes's friends had sent him links about the event and a work colleague even sent him an official-looking invitation via Microsoft Outlook.
Eventually, he caved: "I thought if I don't go to this I'll spend the rest of my Nigel existence regretting it."
That night, Nigel and his boyfriend took a train to The Fleece Inn in the village of Bretforton, about 2.5 hours west of London.
On arrival, Nigel showed his ID to a woman wearing a 'Nigels Little Helper' t-shirt.
"That was the moment when I knew it was going to be an awesome night. You get to the line and they say 'Hello, Nigel, how are you doing?' with such gusto.
"And they ask 'How many not-Nigels are with you this evening?'"
When Nigels really started appearing en masse, things got exciting, Nigel says.
Publican Nigel Smith had tried to woo Nigella Lawson to the event - she didn't show - but Nigel Hughes did get to meet a fellow Nigel from Christchurch.
"There was quite a bit of discussion about whether [Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage] would turn up. I don't think that would have gone down very well."
At 9pm, Nigel Hughes and his boyfriend had to take the last train back to London, but he says next time he'll follow the lead of a Welsh Nigel he met and camp onsite.
Since Nigel Night, he's spent a lot of time reflecting on his name and has a message for parents welcoming male children this year:
"I'd heartily encourage anyone giving birth to young boys in New Zealand to think about Nigel as a sound choice.
"He might get some flak growing up, but as he gets older and begins to appreciate all the joy that comes with being a Nigel, he'll wear it as a badge of honour. And some 20 years down the track when he's settled into his Nigelness he can come over to the UK, go to the Fleece Inn at Brexterton ... attend the 20th anniversary of Nigel Night and be amongst many fine contemporaries."
