Its been my experience that ear plugs don't block out as much as you think, it just takes down the apparent volume. Also, not very comfortable, especially if you sip/nibble while working. YRMV. Me? I'd tell him to turn it down.
Yes, but if Hil can hear the music through her earplugs... it's more leverage. "Dude, I'm wearing earplugs and I can still hear your music. If you don't turn it down, the Baby Jesus is gonna bless you with a need to learn sign language."

There's an Emma in Matilda's daycare. And I do know a lot of little Ava's, and one Isla (which just cracked the top 1000).
I have the opposite name problem. My name was number 83 the year I was born, and over my lifetime, I've only met a couple of other Valeries. But, one of the mom's in my after care program is Valerie as well. The other day, I called to ask my big boss a question. He answered the phone, and I said, "Hey, it's Valerie."
And he said, "Which Valerie?"
I swear, that's the first time that's ever happened in my life!
My name peaked at 63 in 1974 and was 78 the year I was born. I can count the umber of other Tamaras I've met in my life on one hand, but one of them was an ex-gf of my DH, which I had forgotten about until recently someone found him on Facebook and asked if the Tamara he is married to now was the same one he was dating back when Facebook-friend roomed with him...
I knew a few Tamaras (one stalked my sister, and then me when sis was out of town) and one Tamar.
I'm still waiting for the surge of "ita" popularity to hit. Any time now. I can feel it building.

Will this happen before or after "Enid" experiences a resurgence? (That's my mom's name.)
Frederick was very popular about 100 years ago, which is why all of those black & white movies from the '30s have a character named Fred or Freddy. Been slipping ever since.
I don't get out much or I'm sure I would have met more. The historical popularity is much higher than I would have guessed based on my experience.
Will itas count if they arer capitalized and/or pronounced wrong?
